JACKSON, MI-- Early results of a water influence study on Cascade Falls Park show man-made features may not be the culprit of local flooding issues. The water influence study comes after residents called for action, with several theorizing flooding issues were caused by The Cascade’s man-made features. Groundwater measurements taken May 27 indicate man-made features, like Hobo Fountain, the Splash Pad and Cascade Falls, may not be the issue. “We’ll still monitor, you know, the wells after we turn on the falls,” Bolt said. Once the study is complete, results will help the City of Jackson and JCDOT come up with solutions for annual flooding.

Washtenaw County Parks' summer attractions will open in late June.
