Homeowners on low lying building lots within the Lake Shenandoah Stormwater Authority Area may soon have some relief when it comes to stormwater issues affecting their property.

One of the main stormwater management interventions being put in place by the Lake Shenandoah Stormwater Authority is the construction of the Taylor Spring Detention Basin... and that is well under way!

The localized flooding experienced in some parts of some neighborhoods in the stormwater authority area have been a result of water flowing through the area towards Lake Shenandoah... and now (soon) stormwater flowing through the area will be detained in this new (large!) stormwater basin before continuing downstream to Lake Shenandoah.

Rockingham County purchased 28.9 acres back in 2020 and the County is now constructing a 6.7 acre detention basin.  This basin is not designed to permanently store the water as it is expected to drain within a few days of a rain event.
