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.
