The City of Wildwood's Board of Public Safety meeting on August 7, 2025, focused on significant flooding concerns related to Wild Horse Creek. Board members discussed the ongoing challenges posed by the creek, which runs from beyond Route T to the Missouri River in Chesterfield Valley.

Wildwood has a large geographic footprint that encompasses nine watersheds, leading to various flooding issues, with Wild Horse Creek being highlighted as particularly problematic. The road alongside the creek, Wild Horse Creek Road, is situated within the floodway, making it vulnerable to flooding during heavy rainfall.

Officials noted that flooding on this road has become increasingly frequent, exacerbated by recent extreme weather events. The discussion emphasized the need for improved warning systems and flood management strategies to address these ongoing challenges.

The meeting underscored the importance of proactive measures to mitigate flooding risks in the area, as residents and officials alike seek solutions to protect infrastructure and ensure public safety. Further discussions and planning are expected as the city continues to address these pressing issues.
