Submitted By: RON YOUNG Date Completed:
Project Title: FLOODING MITIGATION
Project Type: DRAINAGE Sub - Type: IMPROVEMENTS

Project Code: DR1101 Priority: A
COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION:

RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PROJECTS AND/ OR MASTER PLAN:

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project consists of identifying chronic flooding locations within the City of Euless and determining the
cost/ benefit of property acquisition and protection compared to extensive drainage relief projects. Property
acquisition will be recommended after consideration of flooding history, appraisals, and feasible alternative
drainage solutions have been evaluated. It is recommended that this be established as an ongoing project.

PROJECT SCHEDULE:

JUSTIFICATION:
Properties throughout the City of Euless situated adjacent to creeks have experienced drainage problems for
several years. The cost for implementing drainage improvement projects to mitigate flooding at isolated locations
may be much greater than the cost of property acquisition. Chronic flooding lowers the property values and this
program will offer a means of relief for affected property owners.
