This project <br />was done under the guidance of resident Tony Schwab. The project involved a series of pipes <br />connecting 14 homes to a ten -inch pipe that diverted the water to the storm system. This was <br />partially funded through a grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District Storm Water <br />Remediation Program. Maintenance was recently performed on the system, and Schwab <br />provided Council with an update. <br />Tony Schwab, 14262 Garden Way North, explained he recently had water in his basement. <br />Investigation showed there was standing water in the ten -inch pipe that should have been draining <br />into the pond. It was found that the pipe was blocked by willows roots growing into the system, <br />and he showed a video of himself pulling several feet of roots from the pipe. There were no <br />willows growing there when the system was built, and he want Council to be aware of the <br />potential for this to happen. Tony said, other than that, the system had been working flawlessly. <br />
