Edinburg, Texas: $2.7 Million

Project Description

Edinburg will build a regional stormwater detention facility and ditch extension that are in a low-lying area that connects to a system of drainage ditches. The project manages flooding from intense but short rain events that have been more frequent in recent years. Rain events such as those in 2018, 2019, and 2020 were described as “never before” experienced events, but they have occurred three times within the last five years. Through this nature-based solution, the proposed detention facility reduces the depth of flooding. It benefits an estimated 302 people (90 structures), within the Edinburg Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction. The improvement will have a positive impact on the social, environmental, and economic vitality of this area.
