Much of the information about the potential for local creeks and ponds to flood through neighborhoods and wash out roads has been outdated for decades, but a new study being done by Williamson County and Halff infrastructure consulting firm is putting the latest data in the public’s hands.
“The bottom line is to try the best we can to save lives and protect property. That’s what it boils down to,” said David Zwernemann, Williamson County floodplain manager. “If we can have better awareness from this flood study on where the flood exposures are and we can relay them to the public, then we’ll all have a better understanding.”
Zwernemann said the information regarding potential for roads to wash out will also be helpful to first responders and emergency crews.
