The Strathcona Regional District is moving ahead with a design to improve stormwater collection in Area D to better manage flooding, surface ponding and runoff issues.
The regional district said drones will be used until Feb. 5 to capture aerial photos of three catchment areas where the improvements are planned and where the new system will be installed.
Crews will begin setting up for the drone activity, and the regional district said there is no cause for concern since the operator holds the necessary permits and certifications.
“The district will be working with ISL Engineering and Land Services to complete aerial photography along the proposed corridors of the upcoming stormwater system,” the district said in a notice. “The drone operator has all appropriate certifications and pre-flight requirements fulfilled with the regulators.”
Once all photos are taken, the district said it will continue with the design of the planned stormwater system, and more information will be shared once it is final.
The work will take place in Catchment C, Catchment E and the Oyster River rest area within Area D.
