Summary:

In July 2025, the City of Olathe experienced a 100-year (1% chance) storm event which caused localized flooding.  Residents reported home flooding at three locations including: South Curtis Street near Water Works Park; 13139 South Brougham Drive; and 13844 S. Shannan Street.  In order to identify flood control project alternatives, the City is initiating a Watershed Improvement Preliminary Project Study for these three (3) locations.

 

Through a qualifications-based selection process, HNTB Corporation was selected to conduct the studies.  The studies will include survey, hydraulic modeling, cost/benefit analysis and identification of preferred alternatives.  The contract total with HNTB is $265,690.

 

Pending approval by the Watershed Organizations, this project will be funded by Johnson County’s Stormwater Management Advisory Council (SMAC) in the amount of $199,267.50 (75% of $265,690). 

 

The studies will be completed in Summer and Fall 2026.
