Community input needed for Stormwater Master Plan in Carbondale

CARBPNDALE, Mo. (KBSI) – The City of Carbondale, along with the Greater Egypt Regional Planning Commission is developing a Stormwater Master Plan for the community and need the community’s input.

This plan will help aide in decision making in addressing existing stormwater hazards while also predicting and preparing for climate-induced flooding.

In order to understand where localized urban flooding is occurring in the community, the City of Carbondale is requesting input through a quick Community Survey on Urban Flooding.

If you’ve noticed urban flooding within the Carbondale community, they want to know about.

Those who complete the storm water survey will be entered for a chance to win:
1) A Super Splash Park Season Pass (Family or Single),
2) A Science Center Season Pass (Family), OR
3) A Membership to Warehouse the Ultimate Gym (Single).

Residents are asked to report where they have seen urban flooding, and if possible, to submit photos.

The survey can be taken here: City of Carbondale Community Survey | Urban Flooding (arcgis.com)

City of Carbondale Community Survey Urban Flooding Drawings for the prizes will be held the week of December 16th, 2024.
To take the survey in person the City of Carbondale’s first Public Engagement Session on Urban Flooding will be held at the Eurma Hayes Center on
October 30, 9:00 AM -12:00 PM.

Information on stormwater infrastructure will be on display, with maps and stickers available for residents to mark where they are experiencing urban flooding.

The public is welcome to stop in and ask questions.
