Have you heard of JoCo Inflow?

It’s a program designed to reduce the amount of rainwater and groundwater entering the sanitary sewer system from private properties.

One of Johnson County Wastewater’s major investments to improve wastewater collection system performance is its private inflow and infiltration program, now known as JoCo Inflow. The voluntary program has helped thousands of Johnson County homeowners reduce the risk of basement sewer backups with no out-of-pocket expense to the homeowner.

Approximately 800 properties in Prairie Village are within the boundaries of the current JoCo Inflow Program. A map is included here, but the area is roughly from Nall Avenue to Roe Avenue and from 71^st Street to 75^th Street, with a few homes south of 75th.

The project team is holding a public information meeting for property owners to learn more and ask questions. The meeting will be held from 4 to 6:30 p.m. January 30 at Prairie Baptist Church, 7416 Roe Ave.
