We wanted to inform you about ongoing work by the County on the Roosevelt Channel 5 project, which has begun making significant progress.

Starting today, several truckloads of equipment and materials are being delivered to the easement area on the west side of our community. Within the next day or two, the County will begin removing the weir at the end of the channel—a project originally scheduled to take place three years ago but delayed due to budget constraints.

Project Overview:

The removal process is expected to take approximately 10 days.

A large amount of concrete will be hauled away during this time.

The County will install 30-foot steel partitions to create a temporary dam across the canal in front of the weir. These partitions are driven into the canal using a hydraulic press and a vibrating impact hammer.

Once the partitions are in place, the water level behind them will rise, but not to a level that should cause concern.

A bypass system will redirect water from the canal to a point beyond the weir.

A similar setup is also being implemented further down the canal near Chick-fil-A, where a flood control gate will be installed.

Ground/Lawn Repairs:

At this time, it is unclear whether the County will be responsible for repairing any ground or lawn areas impacted by this work, as the location is a designated easement area. We will share updates if more information becomes available.

Thank you for your understanding as this important project moves forward.

On behalf of your Board of Directors,

Your Sentry Care Team!
