Huntsville city and Madison County. Same clay. Different outlet.
You are in Huntsville city or in Madison County. The clay is the story either way. The outlet is not.
- What does not change. About 55 inches of rain. Clay that will not perc a sock-pipe.
- What does. City lots have inlets. County lots more often have ditches.
Huntsville city
Curb, gutter, inlets, Storm Water Management Manual, Engineering at Fountain Circle. Slope rules on Green Mountain and Monte Sano. Tie-ins and grading are city business. Private French drains still have to discharge legally. Report public clogs in Huntsville Connect. Engineering: 256-427-5300.
Madison County (outside the city)
Ditches more often than inlets. Septic and perc failures in clay and karst. County Engineering still watches flooding. Your yard drain does not fix a failed septic. Different problem.
Madison the city, Meridianville, Harvest, Hazel Green, Hampton Cove, Jones Valley, Green Mountain
Same red clay. Different slope and different storm hardware. Hampton Cove: bowls. Green Mountain: downhill neighbors. Jones Valley: the catch. Harvest and Meridianville: flat clay ponds. If your neighborhood is not listed, you still get this hub.
What does not change
About 55 inches of rain. Clay that will not perc a sock-pipe. A soak pit that stays full. Request a quote.
