Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure

In July 2012, residents in Atlanta’s Peoplestown neighborhood experienced several days of rainfall which flooded several homes along Atlanta, Connally and Ormond avenues. The Department of Watershed Management (DWM) responded immediately to perform on-site inspections and a review of the collection and conveyance system. Under the Southeast Atlanta Green Infrastructure Initiative, DWM developed a holistic approach to flood mitigation and identified short-term and long-term projects to address flooding concerns within the Custer Avenue Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) basin.
