The installation of this drain pipe will mitigate future stormwater from backing up and causing flooding in the area. The Lakeville drainage ditch, located at 960 Lakeville, is a city-owned and maintained drainage ditch receiving stormwater runoff from portions of Lakeville, Payran, and Caulfield Ln. Yearly maintenance, including the removal of cattails and other vegetation, is required to maintain proper flow across the relatively flat site. During large rain events the inadequate site slope causes water to pond and the ditch to overflow. The flooding caused during these weather events impacts the neighboring area around the 960 Lakeville property as well as the slow lane of Lakeville street causing traffic safety issues. This project will help mitigate future flooding related issues by installing a new 60-inch-diameter collector storm drain pipe to extend the two existing 42-inch-diameter feeder storm drains to the end of the Lakeville drainage ditch. The project will also include removal of cattails and flow hampering vegetation, regrading the project site, installing a new property fence, and installing a new outfall.
This project is included in the City of Petaluma's FY 2022-2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Per the owner, as of July 15, 2022, this project is in the early planning stage. A contract has been made with a consultant to perform site investigations. A timeline for construction has not been determined.
