The drainage area to the dam is approximately 123 acres and extends to Mount Pleasant Avenue (east), Houston Road (west), and across Bethlehem Pike (north) on either side of Alene Road, just north of Hamilton Road. Houston Creek runs northeast to southwest and flows through the School District property to an existing dam. The primary locations to be analyzed are the existing stone/concrete dam and a portion of the creek between Brookside & Marion Avenue from Knight Road to N. The project area is located on the border of Lower Gwynedd Township, Ambler Borough and Whitpain Township between the Wissahickon School District property and the Ambler Yards Business Campus. The study is to determine the baseline flooding conditions of the neighborhood adjacent to the Wissahickon School District property and the drainage area of the existing dam. Over the past two years, the Township's Engineer has been gathering information and performing analysis. Lower Gwynedd Township received grant funding to conduct a flood study in 2021 through the Department of Community and Economic Development's Flood Mitigation Program.
