SEMSWA's capital improvement projects improve our drainage system by helping prevent flooding, improve water quality, protect the environment and property.

Capital Improvement projects are typically identified and prioritized during the drainageway master planning process or by stormwater infrastructure inspection activities.  Our engineers work collaboratively with various entities including other governmental agencies,  professional design and construction firms, and property owners.

Types of Stormwater CIP Projects

• ​Stream Stabilization:  improves flood conveyance capacity and enhances water quality by reducing the impacts of stream degradation.   
• Infrastructure Rehabilitation, Enhancement, and Replacement:  needed when aging infrastructure is assessed to be in poor condition and requires repair or replacement.  
• Stormwater Detention and Water Quality Pond Design and Construction:  provides a regional solution to flood control and water quality for existing and future development.  
• ​Channel Repair:  planned and emergency repairs needed after flood events when public safety is at risk.     
• Pond Modifications:  expand flood control capacity add water quality infrastructurnd bringing facilities into compliance with master planning and current design criteria.
