An increase in frequency and intensity of storms since 2013 caused hundreds of north Everett homes to flood, resulting in millions in damage claims. To eliminate chronic basement flooding and combined sewer overflow (CSO) discharges, Everett city engineers implemented the Legion Golf Course Stormwater Detention Project. New and expanded water features will collect, treat, and store storm runoff from city streets, the nearby community college, and the golf course itself. Changes to three golf holes and course routing will also enhance the golfers’ experience.
