The Dale City Library was closed from February 22 to 24 on account of drainage problems. Over time, the drainage issues were beginning to wash out on the north side of the library on Minnieville Road.
The drainage issues, with no renovations, have been an even bigger issue during rainy seasons. As a result of a slit build-up in the mulch bed, the drainage water from the parking lot was unable to pass over the hump in the flower bed, said Prince William County spokeswoman Rachel Johnson.
This caused the dirt to slowly erode, and mulch began to build up along the side of the building. The county government's fleet and facilities management also recognized that the drain boxes did not have header curbs allowing water to flow freely.
