State Rep. Joe Webster shared today the notice of public meetings for the Perkiomen Mapping and Flood Mitigation Study which affects numerous legislative districts throughout southeastern PA, including the 150th, 70th,146th, 147th, 130th,131st, 145th, and the 143rd Legislative Districts in Montgomery, Berks, Lehigh and Bucks counties. Three public meetings are planned for Tuesday November 12, 2024 at the Upper Providence Township Building, Tuesday November 19, 2024 at the Pennridge North Middle School, and Thursday November 21, 2024 at the Upper Perkiomen Middle School. Doors open to the public at 6:00 PM with a formal presentation beginning at 7:00 PM. The goals of the planning effort are to identify significant flooding locations throughout the 362 square mile watershed, model the watershed to better understand the hydrology of areas that flood, develop conceptual solutions to help mitigate identified risks and arm communities with baseline information to pursue funding for project implementation, and engage the public and property owners to better understand stormwater and provide pathways for implementation of smaller-scale stormwater mitigation techniques on their own properties. The Perkiomen Mapping and Flood Mitigation Study is expected to guide future flood mitigation efforts, helping communities throughout the watershed to better prepare for and respond to flood events.
