Field work is ongoing to collect data on infrastructure and streams. While survey crews work in several different areas throughout the city to collect data, efforts will be focused on downtown and the Laurel Creek Watershed, which includes Verdae, CUICAR, and the Woodruff Road area.
Crews will be surveying stormwater conveyance systems like pipes, inlets, manholes, channels, and streams. While most are located within the public right-of-way, in some cases, survey personnel may need to traverse side or rear property lines or along creeks and natural drainage ways to gather the required information. This may include entering fenced and gated areas on private property. Additionally, city crews will be evaluating current watershed and stream conditions, which includes walking the creek, taking measurements and field notes, collecting water samples, etc. Crews will work diligently to ensure that no private property is disturbed in conjunction with any of these activities.
