Drainage master plan could improve Kyle flooding issues

With the approval of a developed master drainage plan in April 2017, Kyle aims to contain future areas prone to flooding.

The master plan is scheduled to be completed by the summer, and the project is currently being developed by Halff Associates Inc., an Austin based company that will create a matrix outlying potential costs and areas that need drainage improvement.

The contracted plan with Halff Associates will cost a maximum $177,500, which has already been accounted for in the city’s budget in the drainage utility fund. The drainage master plan will help city engineers decide where to implement capital improvement programs (CIP).
