EXISTING DRAINAGE FACILITIES <br />At present there are numerous drainage problems throughout the area <br />which frequently cause trouble. Generally speaking, the existing drainage <br />facilities are not adequate to accommodate even the present run -off. As the <br />development increases, the run -off will increase with a corresponding increase <br />in the drainage problems. <br />The existing drainage facilities are limited primarily to a few road and <br />highway culverts. In the more highly developed subdivisions, curb and gutter <br />has been provided but these frequently are lacking a proper outlet channel, <br />and consequently, they simply concentrate the drainage rather than eliminate <br />it. At present the major problems are in Hunter Heights and Westwood Sub- <br />divisions (Points( 9 jand 10 ), and Houston Heights Subdivision (Points <br />15 <br />11 to ). � <br />In Westwood Subdivision, there is an existing 24 -inch concrete pipe which <br />is designed primarily to carry irrigation water through Westwood, Hunter <br />Heights, and Mountain View Acres to the farms north of the highway. Although <br />this pipe adequately serves as an irrigation structure, it is too small to <br />accommodate all the drainage waters collected at its inlet. Whenever this <br />pipe fails to carry the drainage water, the excess spreads over Westwood <br />Subdivision and flows into Hunter Heights. <br />In Hunter Heights the streets are generally on a minimum grade draining <br />to the north into two pipe culverts under the highway. At present these <br />highway culverts can accommodate all the storm water that is delivered to <br />their entrances. However, because of the fiat street grades and poor inlet <br />channels leading to the highway, it takes only a minor storm to cause flood- <br />ing in Hunter Heights, while the highway culverts are running only partially <br />full. <br />- 8 - <br />
