Drainage Information
From Northern Palm Beach
County Improvement
District
Why do some yards flood after large
quantities of rain? The simple answer
is according to most approved drainage
designs, some water is meant to be
temporarily stored in public recreational
areas, yard swale and streets. The excess
surface water slowly drains to community
lakes or on-site ponds via street and yard
drainage grates and/or via swales, ditches
and canals. The more complex answer is
that each yard is different. Some yards
have drainage swale areas. These are
areas that are sloped to catch water and
filter out pollutants as water is absorbed
into the ground. Some yards direct water
to the community drainage system as
run-off with very little water retained in
the yard. Familiarize yourself with how
your yard was built to determine how
water drains from your home.
