Central/Canaveral Ditch Work
|
|
|
|
Contractors started cleaning the north end of the Central/Canaveral Ditch behind the South Gate Mobile Home Park this morning (Monday, September 9 at 8:00 a.m.). The goal of this stormwater system maintenance project is to assist the water flowing through the ditch, which in turn prevents flooding and increases the City's resiliency during storms. It is an extension of the already completed Brazilian Pepper Tree removal and mangrove trimming that was done on the west end of the ditch last month.
