Lincoln Park Storm Drainage

Purpose: This community has experienced pervasive problems with ground water as a result of flat topography and a high water table. This project addresses the most serious concerns where the community is willing to implement improvements. This project funds improvements to the existing stream between Frederick Avenue and Dover Road, upgrading 50 feet of storm sewer under North Horners Lane, and installing an underground pipe-collection system to convey water that is pumped from individual homes based on requests from residents. Storm drain systems exist along parts of Spring, Douglas, Stonestreet, and Lenmore Avenues. Residents must commit to installing their own sump pump and connection to the public collection system before the City will initiate construction.

First Appeared in Rockville's Capital Improvement Program: Fiscal Year 2000.
