Kansas floods when it rains. Often more than many surrounding communities. Frequently resulting in lingering standing water. This impacts resident lives through property damage, inoperable septic systems and health concerns from sewage contamination and mosquitoes.
The Village of Kansas is not part of any Drainage District. Drainage Districts are specifically for Farmland, not municipal drainage. The Village of Kansas is not on a recorded Flood Plain that would qualify anyone for Flood Insurance.
Moving water requires a location to gather it. This is complicated by the Village being surrounded by farmland with no natural basins or water ways to receive large volumes of storm water.
