What happened
The city of Port St. Lucie began a pilot program for water level sensors in flood-prone areas. This initiative is paired with a drainage project targeting Oak Hammock. Prior to this, flooding at the intersection of California and Savona boulevards caused local businesses, such as Estella Pizzaria, to close early and report losing thousands of dollars in revenue and delivery capability.

Why it matters
The city is investing in infrastructure to manage flooding risks. The new water level sensors are designed to alert Public Works and police to rapid flooding, potentially allowing for quicker responses to mitigate damage to local commerce and infrastructure.
