Syracuse Council Studies Drainage Problems

SYRACUSE - Two areas in Syracuse with drainage problems were studied this year by DLZ, Indianapolis. Tuesday, Michael E.Massone, project manager for the company, reported to the town council on DLZ's findings. The areas studied included the Potawatomi Heights Subdivision and the area around the Syracuse Community Center. Massone said the company made several site visits, and both areas discharge water to Syracuse Lake. In the subdivision, the pipes are a combination of 10- and 12-inch diameter pipes.The drain system also is a combination of concrete and plastic piping, basically a hodgepodge.As a result, the drain is undersized and the lower end of the system backs up. Part of the proposed solution for the area is to include dedicated hookups to areas with ponding water and additional piping to take some flow from the areas retaining water.At the lower end of the system, he said, a 24-inch pipe could be included before it's discharged to the lake.
