Stormwater and Yard Drainage in Cape Coral
Some drainage problems are private yard issues. Others involve swales, culverts, catch basins, or public stormwater infrastructure.
Public stormwater concerns
Cape Coral residents with flooding, drainage concerns, or damaged stormwater infrastructure may need to contact the City 311 Call Center.
Swales and right-of-way
Driveway culverts, swales, grading near the roadway, and drainage elevations may involve City review or guidance.
Before altering grade
City flood-protection guidance says to check before building, altering, regrading, or depositing fill because changes can affect drainage.
