The drainage issues, with no renovations, have been an even bigger issue during rainy seasons. As a result of a slit build-up in the mulch bed, the drainage water from the parking lot was unable to pass over the hump in the flower bed, said Prince William County spokeswoman Rachel Johnson.
This caused the dirt to slowly erode, and mulch began to build up along the side of the building. The county government’s fleet and facilities management also recognized that the drain boxes did not have header curbs allowing water to flow freely.
