VALPARAISO — Porter County has invested millions of dollars into stormwater drainage projects in South Haven. Now the work is entering the home stretch. Six of the seven projects planned there have been completed or are nearly done. The days of standing water or ice on roads after routine storms are numbered. “It’s different not seeing water sitting there” when driving on Midway and some other areas, Commissioner Jim Biggs, R-North, said. Of the major projects, the south-central project around South Haven Elementary, might be the most significant, Biggs said. “You’ve got this big basin there with wetland vegetation in it,” County Engineer Michael Novotney said, so certainly from a visual standpoint, that one is significant.
