Basin F will host a retention basin to address flood risk, while Basin G will receive early attention to reduce flooding. Plans call for trunk lines serving a defined area, with no immediate construction. Estimated cost around 1.5 million dollars. Public hearing will precede retention basin work east of Dix Road and south of Lisa Lane. Basin F includes Countryside and parts of Dix Road and Whittier. Basin G covers the remaining Countryside and areas along Manchester Road to Breiel Boulevard. The plan aims to regulate storm water through trunks to the hydraulic canal and Great Miami River.
