Drainage Improvements Program
The Environmental Division has a drainage improvement program authorized by the Board of Supervisors. The purpose of this program is to correct existing drainage and erosion problems which are adversely impacting landowners and the environment. The Environmental Division will work in partnership with landowners on the design, contracting and supervision of the restoration work. Potential projects are prioritized and scheduled depending on funding available. This environmental program part of James City County's commitment to the environment.
