Belle Vista Estates has two drain systems. First, area drains are on the west, south and east side of the neighborhood. Area
drains are placed on lot property lines to minimize the flow of surface water from one lot to another and create wet
areas at the downhill sides. The surface water collected at each lot goes to the area drain and through an underground pipe
to the pond. Second, an underdrain system is in the streets with stub into each lot. A foundation drain system that
connects to this underdrain system is required for each house, eliminating the need for a sump pump. This underdrain system lowers
the moisture in the ground and therefore, minimizes the potential for any ground movement.
