PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Stormwater waterways rehabilitation of Indian Trace Development District that are critical for the City’s flood control. This rehabilitation project will extend service life of critical stormwater waterways and includes the following:

• Coordination and construction to remove sediment of the City’s waterways within the Indian Trace Development District
• Remove aquatic vegetation
• Rebuild ditch bank slopes

BENEFITS

Construction to remove aquatic vegetation, dredging to clear the City’s flood control waterways of sediments and rebuilding of ditch slopes provide resiliency to mitigate anticipated increase in frequency and intensity of future flood events.

LOCATIONS

1. Ditch No. 5 west of Savanna from SR 84 and south to Regional Park
2. Ditch No. 3 west of Isles of Weston from Manatee Drive and south to C-11 Canal

UPDATE: 

Both ditches have been completed. At Isles of Weston, on 6/10/26, they will hydroseed the sediment. New grass will be visible in approx. one week but it will take at least a month for the grass to be established.

Construction on Ditch 3 starts April 16, 2026, from Manatee Isles to C-11 Canal along Griffin Road.  The scope of work is to excavate and remove sediment and aquatic vegetation to re-establish permitted design profile and the design drainage capacity of Ditch 3.  Completion is anticipated by May 15. 
Ditch 3 is adjacent to the Isles at Weston community.
