Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Austin, Texas reacts to the city of West Lake Hills and nearby area drainage study to reduce flooding and improve safety and mobility.
—
Over the past few years, development pressures have intensified on the remaining undeveloped pockets of land within the community of West Lake Hills, TX, leading to officials performing a city-wide drainage study to reduce flooding and improve safety and mobility. Referred to as the City of West Lake Hills Drainage Master Plan Phase II, this initiative is being applauded by local plumbing services companies like Mr Rooter Plumbing of Austin, these businesses understanding that as the city continues to grow, there is a driving need to address current and future drainage concerns.
“Taking into consideration the steep terrain and two major creeks, Eanes Creek and Little Bee Creek, the city is faced with a challenging landscape,” says Brett Bidwell of Mr Rooter Plumbing - Austin. “Inadequate channel capacity, erosion and sedimentation have led to roadway overtopping and flooding issues throughout West Lake Hills, while the draught-ending rain events of 2015 also brought a renewed focus on the risk to public safety and infrastructure - and, essentially, a need to develop a master plan.”

According to reports Mr Rooter representatives and senior plumbers studied, the city of West Lake Hills retained the services of K Friese + Associates to perform a comprehensive city-wide drainage study to identify current conditions and provide short and long-term solutions, the plan being divided between two phases: Phase 1 focused on data collection, public involvement and outreach and review of the current drainage code, while Phase II prioritized drainage issues and created a capital improvements program.
During Phase 1, Mr Rooter plumber team reps discovered, 56 areas of interest were established and categorized by the primary cause of the issues, which were then investigated in engineering detail during Phase II. “The areas of interest were combined into projects and prioritized based on safety and other factors, with solutions and cost estimates prepared for the top five projects,” adds Bidwell. “An assessment of the current Code of Ordinances was conducted, and our representatives concurred with KFA’s recommended and completed code revisions to combine the drainage policy into one section - as well as the decision to create a separate Drainage and Erosion Control Design Manual.”
Mr Rooter plumbing services representatives also found that short-term and long-term capital project solutions, new maintenance priorities, new standard techniques and, ultimately, a consistent, integrated set of policies to address the types of issues residents of West Lake Hills have experienced were identified and adopted by the city.
