downers grove homes for sale: Downers Grove Illinois-What is an LPDA? - 02/06/09 10:32 AM
LPDA stands for Localized Poor Drainage Area.  The Village of Downers Grove Illinois identified these areas as locations prone to flooding due to the topography of the land or land that is "bowl" shaped.  Storm water runoff that can not penetrate the ground tends to accumulate in LPDA's creating flooding.  LPDA's serve as natural detention basins to limit flooding in other areas of the Village.  LPDA's are not officially recognized by FEMA as regulatory flood plains, however the Village building codes regulate both LPDA's and flood plains similarly.
