Wayne County enhances stormwater system with major cleanup and maintenance efforts

Wayne County is enhancing its stormwater management system to mitigate flooding and ensure safety for residents. With over $70 million allocated, efforts include cleaning roads and clearing catch basins to improve rainwater flow. The county maintains over 50,000 catch basins and 1,600 miles of streets, essential for preventing blockages and flooding. Wayne County Executive Warren Evans is involved in discussions about these initiatives.
