Why it matters
Better flood control protects your home and neighborhood from water damage during storms. When bayou channels work properly, water flows away from streets and buildings instead of backing up and flooding your property.
If this passes
Concrete channels will be fixed to move stormwater away faster, reducing flood risk for nearby homes and businesses during heavy rains and hurricanes.
If this does not pass
Damaged concrete channels stay broken, which could cause water to back up and flood streets, yards, and buildings during storms.
