It does have a grooved runway but last time I saw it the grooving isn't fully doing the job. Unlike most runways SOU's is not cambered, it has a crossfall west to east. There is a gully joining drains on the east side. The drains were not doing the job with water sitting in the gully and causing water to back up into the grooving instead of draining it away.
