Drainage improvement project in Willacy County to bring flood relief
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A flood prevention project is set to begin 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 includes widening a drainage canal from 70 to 100 feet and constructing a new 10-acre detention pond. This initiative is a collaboration between Willacy County, its drainage district, and Hidalgo County Drainage District No. 1, with a budget of nearly $3 million, half funded by a state grant. Construction may start later this month or in early July, pending state approval.
