Residents in Delaware’s Bayshore area got a look at plans by Delaware officials yesterday to deal with the drainage problems that have plagued the area.

The Delaware Division of Watershed Stewardship point to ten priority areas.

WBOC reports that these ranged from one in Pickering Beach and three in Kitts Hummock to a number of them such as Slaughter, Prime Hook and Lewes among others.

Brooks Cahall, manager of the drainage program, told residents that the plan was to make small repairs that could have a major impact on the flooding issue.

The total cost of the ten projects could be around $616-thousand.
