Did you know KICA invests over $1 million annually to keep Kiawah's drainage system in top shape? This extensive system includes roadway drainage, 122 interconnected ponds, and outfall structures that direct water into the Kiawah River.

Additionally, the association recently completed a major drainage improvement project to address the island's most significant flooding vulnerabilities.
