Flooding
Storm Drains
Storm drains help to prevent localized flooding during periods of rapid snow-melt, and heavy rainfall by providing a place for the stormwater to go. Residents can help reduce the chance of flooding in your neighborhood, by following the steps below.
DO
- Monitor your neighborhood storm drains and keep them free of snow, ice, leaves, and other debris, which can lead to pooling water. This may mean using a shovel or other hand tool to clear the drain grate repeatedly.
- If you see a clogged storm drain, use a rake, shovel handle, or stick to clear the drain.
- NEVER remove a storm drain lid.
- Avoid cleaning drains located in high traffic areas.
- Do not wade into water when you are unsure of the depth.
