City officials say a series of major drainage projects are still needed to address flooding concerns across the city, even as work on the levee system nears completion.
During Tuesday’s work session, public works director Brian Johnson outlined the city’s stormwater finances and long-term capital improvement plans, which include projects in North Manhattan, Aggieville, South Manhattan and the Campus Creek watershed.
Johnson said the city expects about $5.8 million in stormwater revenue in 2026. A portion of that revenue supports debt associated with the levee improvement project through a stormwater surcharge implemented in 2019.
