Hornet Drive Drainage Improvements

The City of Prescott is looking to improve existing drainage within the Yavapai Hills Subdivision. The project generally consists of drainage improvements, grading of an existing drainage channel to increase flow capacity to new drop inlet headwall structures, installation of new 36-inch and 42-inch storm drain pipe, related utility relocations, including a new water service connection and a temporary fly line, fire hydrant relocation, removal and replacement of existing landscaping. Removal and replacement of curb and gutter, spandrel, and asphalt, construction of new catch basins, and installation of 9-inch and 18-inch Rip Rap.

The project is located primarily along Hornet Drive and the intersection of Bonanza Trail, and Rough Diamond Drive. The City of Prescott had received complaints from Yavapai Hills regarding drainage flows originating from Hornet Drive. In May of 2025, a drainage analysis was concluded to evaluate capacity of the existing drainage system and associated drainage structures along Hornet Drive. The analysis determined that improvements to the existing infrastructure are necessary to adequately convey the storm water to the historic channel.
