The city is now maintaining 38 flood channel segments following the Jan. 22 flood — the most it ever has in a single year, records show
San Diego is finally clearing dozens of flood channels that it says have sorely needed maintenance for years, only after the Jan. 22 flooding overwhelmed city channels and destroyed many homes. But the rare blitz of maintenance still leaves dozens of other channel segments that have not been touched in at least more than a decade, city records show.
22 flood would have overwhelmed any stormwater system. But even stormwater officials have acknowledged that their system is underfunded, outdated and under-maintained. City residents have complained to the city for years about overflowing storm drains and flood channels that are packed with trash and vegetation, including full-grown trees. The city collects little dedicated stormwater funding and has not asked voters to increase that funding since 1996.
