Engineering personnel for the City of Statesboro want to ensure that a little bit of rain, or even a lot of it, never hurts anyone. Drainage issues in some portions of the city, exacerbated by recent rainstorms, have spurred local representatives to take action with regard to the city’s plan for dealing with runoff storm water. During its regular meeting Tuesday, Statesboro City Council voted unanimously to hire a consulting group to help staff engineers develop a comprehensive storm-water management program.The city will pay Ecological Planning Group $74,125 for the service, to help streamline its drainage system — to better manage large amounts of rainfall and maintain water quality. “(Consultants) will be evaluating a large cross-section of the storm-water infrastructure we have in place.
