Command Construction Industries, LLC crews are installing underground water chambers designed to store more than three million gallons of water and reduce localized flooding at Easton Park.
The crews, in conjunction with Sewerage and Water Board (SWB), are also continuing to repair and replace drainage lines on N. Salcedo, Toulouse, St. Phillip, St. Peter, N. Broussard and N. Gayoso streets.
Public safety is our priority; the park and adjacent facilities will remain closed until work is complete. The approximately $7.3M project was designed by Stantec and is scheduled to be complete in summer 2020.
The goals for the project include:
- Increasing drainage to reduce flooding;
- Utilizing green infrastructure to slow, retain, and absorb storm water;
- Beautifying with green areas;
- Replenishing groundwater; and
- Storing rainwater underground.
