The project was facilitated through a CDBG funding application to alleviate flooding of residents along Alamo Street. Major flows from the Creston, coupled with unregulated development over many years, contributed to the flooding of resident along this urban roadway. The project included substantial drainage improvements including the design of a comprehensive storm sewer system. The system consisted of over 2000 linear feet of storm sewer pipes, ranging from 18 inches in diameter to 60 inches in diameter. The storm sewer system collects flows from upstream areas and along the roadway corridor, then discharges them to the Gallinas River. The project also included the design of new curb and gutter, sidewalks, drive pads, sewer and water line improvements, and new asphalt paving.
