Project Location:        Deidrick Rd & Irma St (from Parmalee St

                                        south) and Chelton Dr (west of Irma St)

     Design Start Date             January 2009

     Construction Start Date   October 2009

There are 152 acres that drain into Drainage Area "Q." It has been determined that 30 acres of storm water runoff drain from Stow into Kent. Six and a half acres (on the east side of Deidrick Road between West Main Street and Powell Road) are collected by the Phase 3 system.

It is not possible to drain the Phase 5 area to the detention basin constructed in Phase 1. Therefore, the remaining 23.5 acres in Stow along with an additional 18.4 acres from Kent will be routed through Stow and discharged into Fish Creek.

Since the concurrence from our neighboring municipality was necessary, the Kent Engineering Division approached the City of Stow. Fortunately, the City of Stow was sympathetic to our problem, and Stow City Council has agreed to participate with the City of Kent.

This improvement will provide storm sewer improvements on Deidrick, Irma and Chelton, along with a drainage outlet for Verner, Powell, Wilders and Deidrick Road.

This project is being funded in part through the City of Kent Storm Water Utility Fund, property owner assessments and possible Issue II Grant funds.
