A Washoe County judge has ordered Reno to pay $1.1 million to owners of three homes that flooded north of the city four years ago as dozens of others continue to press related battles in federal court over handling of excess stormwater. More than 60 homes were damaged when the Swan Lake Basin flooded in Lemmon Valley during a stretch of unusually heavy rainfall in February 2017. The flooding occurred about 8 miles (13 kilometers) north of downtown. Washoe District Judge Barry Breslow this month ordered the city to pay the owners of the three homes $931,000 for damages plus interest for the time they’ve been in court, the Reno Gazette Journal reported.
