Residents say the Maple Basin wasn't dredged or retrofitted before record rains, contributing to flooded homes and a road collapse that nearly killed two people. Council members defended staff, noted the county's role, and promised an after-action report.
City Council — January 6, 2026
Residents say the earthen basin at Maple and Muscatel was full of mud, couldn't percolate water, and failed catastrophically. They want it dug out, redesigned, and maintained before the next storm.
