Windermere Drainage Project Neighborhood Meeting 4/29/26

The City of Charleston, SC held a neighborhood meeting on April 29, 2026, to discuss the Windermere Drainage Project, a major stormwater infrastructure improvement initiative aimed at addressing longstanding drainage deficiencies in the South Windermere area. City officials and representatives from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers provided detailed information about the project scope, which includes installing properly sized stormwater pipes, constructing new outfalls, and upgrading existing outfalls to improve drainage capacity and reduce flooding. The project will be executed in phases, with construction activities planned to minimize disruption to the local school and neighborhood traffic. The city emphasized ongoing communication with residents, including pre-construction surveys to monitor potential impacts such as vibrations to older homes. Residents were encouraged to engage with project managers and the citizen service desk for updates and concerns. No specific contract awards or vendor names were mentioned, but the involvement of the Army Corps indicates federal funding and partnership in the project.
