Let’s hear from you. Palm Beach County Improvement District

Why do some yards flood after large quantities of rain? The simple answer is according to most
approved drainage designs, some water is meant to be temporarily stored in public recreational
areas, yard swale and streets. The excess surface water slowly drains to community lakes or on-
site ponds via street and yard drainage grates and/or via swales, ditches and canals. The more
complex answer is that each yard is different. Some yards have drainage swale areas. These
are areas that are sloped to catch water and filter out pollutants as water is absorbed into the
ground. Some yards direct water to the community drainage system as run-off with very little
water retained in the yard. Familiarize yourself with how your yard was built to determine how
water drains from your home.
