Long-Awaited Stormwater Relief Coming to Sadie Heights
Perry, GA · November 9, 2026
Fog is hugging the low roads early this morning, but clear skies and a full slate of community gatherings await once it lifts.
The Lead
Relief from heavy storm runoff is on the way for Sadie Heights and Stonegate. Perry City Council formally awarded a $1.53 million construction contract to LeClay Construction to launch Phase 2 of the long-planned neighborhood flood mitigation initiative. Following the completion of Stonegate Trail culvert replacements earlier this summer, this next phase tackles the regional inline detention pond and widens downstream drainage channels toward Rocky Road.
Once the earthmoving wraps up, all homes across the two subdivisions will sit above the 100-year flood mark, resolving years of standing water issues that repeatedly covered residential roads. Crews are authorized to work Monday through Saturday between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with substantial completion targeted for late spring. Before heavy machinery arrives on-site, project engineers will coordinate construction schedules and access routes directly with neighborhood homeowners.
