Fargo will need fewer sandbags for flood fights

FARGO — More than $24 million in flood mitigation projects in the Fargo area mean fewer sandbags will be required in any future flood fights. About 3.2 million sandbags were used during the spring 2009 battle against the Red River. City engineering officials told The Forum newspaper that almost a million fewer sandbags will be needed to protect to the same level, thanks to about 20 flood mitigation projects such as earthen levees, backyard floodwalls and storm sewer upgrades.

Fargo and state flood-fighting officials are in full-bore planning mode for this spring’s flood, hoping to avoid panic when rivers start flooding in late March or April. “These preparations are going to help all of us,” Mayor Dennis Walaker said Thursday, in the season’s first official public planning meeting. “There’s a different point between panic, and being calm, and being prudent,” Walaker told state, county and city officials meeting at Fargo’s City Hall. “I still don’t feel it’s time to panic. I think it’s still time to plan.”
