Reminder
Please do
not rake or blow leaves (or other yard materials) into the public street or into storm drains. In the fall, dead
leaves typically collect in roads, and in moderate rainfall events can be
washed into/on top of storm drains. These leaves then block or reduce the conveyance of water into the
drains and increase local flood risk. Please
be a good neighbor and help us keep catch basins clear of leaves to prevent
street flooding.
