STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The Tabb Lakes Stormwater Committee members monitor and ensure that the major drainage systems that support our community function properly to reduce the possibility of flooding of our homes and property. Committee members routinely check the condition of our major drainage systems and, when possible, clear our drainage outflow pipes, ditches, and emergency spillway. The Committee Chairman serves as a liaison with the York County Environmental and Development Services (EDS) and notifies the County staff of any problems that require their assistance in clearing areas designated as County easements. We monitor sediment buildup in street drainage systems. We also prepare our community for hurricane severe rain events by checking and, when possible, clearing our drainage systems before and after any major storm. Contact the Chairman for further information.
