Summary
The area near CVS on Business 83 floods because a drain line was disconnected when Freedom Storage was built. The cheap $71,000 fix risks pushing water onto Camelot subdivision and the mobile home park downstream, so the commission ordered a full study of all three options before spending money.

Impact analysis
Options range from about $71,000 to $1.4 million, funded through the drainage bond.

Downstream neighborhoods like Camelot and the 10-1/2 mobile home park could see worse flooding if the cheap fix is chosen without study.
