The dike located along the Village’s waterfront currently provides flood protection for residents and visitors. This dike was constructed following the 1948 flood at a crest elevation that does not meet current design standards. The Village is undertaking upgrades to the dike to increase protection against inundation from high lake levels. Upgrades will include increasing the dike crest elevation and upgrading the wastewater treatment plant road to better withstand a large flood while allowing for access during emergency situations.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Protect the Village of Harrison Hot Springs from future flood events.
Enhance the accessibility and safety of access points to the park.
Maintain the park's functionality as a space for recreation, play, gathering and community events.
Allow for future infrastructure upgrades to meet changing climate conditions.
Preserve and enhance the character of the site by integrating new flood protection infrastructure into the existing waterfront park
Minimize site disturbance, including the removal of mature trees and the amount of site re-grading.
The consultants on the project, Northwest Hydraulic Consultants (civil/hydrotechnical engineers) and space2place (landscape architect) are looking for feedback from the public on conceptual design options and proposed plans for the upgrades.
