Q.  What about the strategy of doing FDDs throughout the City, rather than just in certain neighborhoods? Would that give you a better outcome?

A. Recall that the objective of the FDD program in the five priority districts was to address basement backups within those neighborhoods.  To be effective in this objective, the FDDs had to target the neighborhoods with the basement backups. Evaluation of future FDDs as an alternative must consider the location of the FDDs relative to the capacity of the sanitary collection system and the risk of future basement backups.  This evaluation, together with the evaluation of other options such as storage, will be evaluated in the next phase of the study.
