During a recent government meeting, residents raised pressing concerns regarding local drainage issues and littering along Ocachoa Boulevard. One resident highlighted the persistent problem of trash accumulation, noting the frequent sight of litter being discarded from vehicles. This prompted discussions on community responsibility and the need for improved public awareness regarding littering.

The meeting also delved into significant drainage challenges faced by residents, particularly concerning the backflow of water from town roads and canals into private properties. A resident expressed frustration over the town's stance that homeowners should manage water runoff from municipal sources. The town officials acknowledged the issue, stating that plans are in place to address drainage problems in the area, including a budget allocation for design work aimed at improving the drainage system.

Officials confirmed that a comprehensive map of existing culverts is available, and they are aware of the historical drainage issues exacerbated by recent developments. They emphasized that while immediate fixes are necessary, the resolution of these drainage problems will require time and funding, as the issues are widespread and interconnected across the community.

Additionally, the importance of conducting a vulnerability study was underscored, as it is crucial for securing further funding for infrastructure improvements. Residents were encouraged to document specific problem areas, such as flooding incidents related to the Folsom Canal, to aid in prioritizing solutions.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from town officials to address these ongoing issues systematically, while also urging community members to remain engaged in the process.
