Drainage Information

From Northern 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.

place them in your trunk.
