Maycliff Subdivision Storm Water and Water Main GMP - Proposal
History

In addition, residents in the area of Maycliff Drive and 143rd Place & 87th Avenue, north of the original study area, identified significant flooding concerns which were previously unknown (area 3 on the attached Improvement Area Phasing Exhibit).
The Maycliff Subdivision is also prone to water main...
