Local Flood Hazard Information

Flooding in the Town of Davie

A large portion of the Town of Davie is located within an environmentally sensitive region known as the C-11 West basin. This area also encompasses the vast majority of the Town that falls within a special flood hazard area. The C-11 West basin includes all areas of the CBWCD that are located west of Nob Hill Road. Stormwater that drains from each area within this C-11 West basin proceeds to flow into South Florida Water Management District’s C-11, or South New River canal (recognized by many as the Griffin Road canal). Stormwater that enters the C-11 at all points west of Nob Hill Road is pumped via SFWMD’s S-9 (pump station) directly into the Everglades (Water Conservation Area 3A).

Hurricane Irene (1999) is the most recent example of widespread flooding in the Town. Because of the extensive flooding from this storm, the Town identified 13 areas where the drainage system needed to be improved. Thus, the Town initiated a capital improvements project to deal with these drainage issues.
