About this Project
Phase 2 of the Lauder Stormwater Detention Basin consists of two dry-bottom compartments. Phase 2, Compartment 1 was completed in Q2 2025. Compartment 2 is expected to provide approximately 260 acre-feet of additional stormwater storage — that is roughly the equivalent of 260 football fields covered in one foot of water.
A stormwater detention basin temporarily holds stormwater during heavy rain events to help reduce the risk of flooding in the area.
