Drainage improvement project in Willacy County to bring flood relief
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A new flood prevention initiative is set to commence this summer in Willacy County, aimed at alleviating flooding issues in Sebastian. Residents like Dan Fern, who experienced significant flooding last March, are hopeful for improvements. The project will widen a drainage canal from 70 to 100 feet and construct a new 10-acre detention pond. This multi-agency effort involves Willacy County and Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1, with nearly $3 million allocated for the project, half funded by a state grant. Construction could start later this month or in early July, pending state approval.
