The stormwater prioritization worksheet is an evaluation of proposed stormwater projects that give the most benefit to the citizens for the amount of dollars expended.
(A) Priority A projects are public right-of-way drainage problems consisting of street flooding, pipe blowouts, drainage structure failure, missing grates/covers, street failure/sinkholes, sidewalk/ driveway failure or ditch/pipe blockage or direct right-of-way runoff onto private property causing living space flooding or drainage feature failure within ten feet of a home or commercial building.
(B) Priority B projects are public right-of-way drainage problems with imminent drainage, structure failure or with direct right-of-way runoff onto private property which may cause property damage to non-living space areas (i.e., crawl spaces or basements).
(C) Priority C projects are public right-of-way drainage problems resulting in pipe/ditch sedimentation, debris in roadside ditches, minor damage to drainage structures or ditch erosion.
(D) Projects that do not qualify for drainage improvements by the city includes:
(1) Private property to private property runoff;
(2) Groundwater;
(3) Seepage in basements/crawl spaces;
(4) Yard flooding;
(5) Standing water; and
(6) Bury pits.
