• Post-Storm Update - October 15, 2024

  Executive Director William Kennedy and Supervisor of Operations Dustin Fazio took a helicopter tour of the District Saturday morning, October 12, to survey potential damage from Hurricane Milton in order to determine the scale and scope of cleanup efforts needed to return the canals to pre-storm condition. This service was provided free of charge by a FEMA-certified contractor. Mr. Kennedy reports that the District does not have any significant woody vegetation in the canals.

  District operators have continued to clear canals of storm debris and have begun grading dirt roads. 

  Please report any downed trees or other storm debris in the District’s canals and rights-of-way to the office.

  Once again, the District is asking landowners to ensure that their driveway culverts are functioning properly. It is the responsibility of the landowner to maintain their culverts. Landowners must notify the District if their culvert has been crushed or has collapsed and is no longer functioning. This is important to ensure proper stormwater management. The District offers a driveway culvert replacement program at a reduced cost to landowners. Please contact the District office at 561-747-0550 or sirwcd@sirwcd.org for more information on this service or visit our Culverts Page.
