Yes –either stationary generators or portable generators which are brought on site as the need arises.

Yes, the District has an array of permanent and mobile generators

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?

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

Thanks!

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