Project Background

This project will fix the ditch and basin issues on the Bullerman Ditch between Maplecrest Road and Maple Terrace to help with flooding which is affecting the surrounding residents yards. This project is currently in the design phase.
Engineers are working to design a plan that will help make part of the Bullerman ditch an inline ditch, which will expand the capacity of the basin and prevent future flooding in the area.
