BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Belford Area Drainage Project consists of the construction of curbs, sidewalks, driveways approaches, underground drainage and an open outfall to IH-37. The Belford Area Drainage Project resulted from a drainage study, funded by the 2007 Bond Savings, of the existing drainage conditions in the Belford Area located in the Fairlawn drainage watershed (adjacent to Highland Hills). The study area is bounded by IH-37 and SE Military Drive to the south, Pecan Valley Drive to the west and natural ridges to the north and east.
