These are the slides that Debra Lorence wanted to present at the Valdosta City Council meeting, November 21, 2024.

Stormwater flooding on Post Pointe Circle @ VCC 2024-11-21, Jennifer Verrastro, Debra Lorence

You can see what she said at 32:10 in Valdosta’s own video, as one of many people who complained about flooding.

Her slides are on the WWALS website in PowerPoint and PDF.

On the left in slide 2 is a culvert under North Valdosta Road (US 41) next to their property. On the right is a much smaller pipe under their property.

According to VALORGIS, that pipe seems to go through a Valdosta easement below the swimming pool.

So it’s hard to see how this is just a Georgia or federal Department of Transportation issue. Valdosta has an easement. Why is it not organized to get floodwaters off this property, down Three Mile Branch, into the Withlacoochee River?
