In 2010 a new drainage system was installed in Traktoros Street that solved the disposal of surface-water so that bigger storms would not cause damages in the area and separates rainwater from the sewage. The rainwater is directed to the lake in Adyváros. The project was the third phase of the complex reconstruction of draining in the Szabadhegy neighbourhood. While the first two phases (the construction of the main pipelines and drainage of Pannónia Street; drainage of Vak Bottyán Street and paving streets) were financed by the municipality, the third phase was implemented with the help of the EU.
