What happens if The Villages loses power? Does the flood control system work without power?
21. Do the pumps have generators?
Yes –either stationary generators or portable generators which are brought on site as the need arises.

3. Are there backup generators? What if we lose power? What if my pump station goes down?
Yes, the District has an array of permanent and mobile generators

From the presentation.

I've seen far better in this state.
Curious what storm water Management system you have seen in this state that is better? And how they did so?

(Not challenging, want to learn)

I watched the entire presentation and I must have missed that.

The biggest tool the best drainage systems use is gravity. Pumps only come into play when there are no other options.

My error.

"12 to 15 inches of rainfall in about 18 hours" (slide in post #43 taken from a Villages presentation)

So Irma and Ian were comparable with Ian likely dropping a little (1") more.
Thanks!

They forecast 12-17"+ here at one point.
