About this Project
Phase 2 of the Meyergrove Stormwater Detention Basin Project adds a second wet-bottom compartment that is designed to provide approximately 8 acre-feet of additional stormwater storage capacity — that is roughly the equivalent of eight football fields covered in one foot of water. A stormwater detention basin temporarily holds stormwater during heavy rain events to help reduce the risk of flooding in the area.
Phase 1, completed in Q1 2025, constructed a wet-bottom compartment that provides 80 acre-feet of stormwater storage capacity, or approximately 27 million gallons.
