Stormwater Capital Projects
Stormwater projects are necessary to reduce the potential for stormwater threats to public health and to comply with state and federal regulations . The Town of Garner recently completed a stormwater conveyance infrastructure study throughout the Town and will be conducting a small pipe study next year . These studies help ascertain the condition of existing stormwater pipe systems and identify potential maintenance needs . The projects listed in this section were primarily identified as part of the study and are the top priority areas that require maintenance within the Town . The Town is also developing ongoing programs to maintain modern comprehensive records and conduct spot repairs annually to prevent more costly repairs in the future .
Development and completion of the Stormwater projects in the Capital Improvement Plan will contribute to the Town ’ s efforts to meet several objectives in the 2016 Strategic Plan as outlined below :
