Mt. Pleasant has launched a 1-year, $9.6 million flood improvement plan for the Old Village area to reduce the effects of flooding on homes.
The Royall Avenue Basin Drainage Improvement Project began last week following a drainage evaluation period of multiple years. The project includes the installation of 177 new drainage outlets and 13,000+ feet of new pipes + increasing the size of existing pipes.
The majority of work will be done within the road right-of-way. On-street parking, landscaping, irrigation, and dog fences within the right-of-way will be removed during construction and will not be replaced. Some trees will be removed.
