Victor Gardens Groundwater Improvement Project — Tony Schwab In 2010 a project was completed in the Victor Gardens neighborhood to address groundwater that was affecting a number of residents following the construction of their homes. Groundwater had been causing flooded basements for several residents, algae and slime on the private alleyways, and constant pumping of water through sump pumps. The project involving a series of pipes to divert the water to the storm system was completed successfully at a cost of approximately $95,800, with funds from the Rice Creek Watershed District Storm water remediation project of approximately $50,000, and the City of Hugo paid the balance.
