The Mexico City Council recently voted to accept stormwater maintenance sgreements with the Mexico Public School District, HomeBank and HRM Services for Teal Lake Village. The agreements give the authorization for city staff to provide guidelines and inspect drainage systems on new construction that involves at least one acre of land. City Engineer Drew Williford told the council that new construction that disturbs ground on an acre or more “is required to incorporate stormwater quality and quantity countermeasures in their site design.” Countermeasures can mean many things. Features such as curb inlet filters, underground storage, or landscaping with a detention basin meet environmental requirements. The goal is to protect water quality.
