Bag Your Yard Waste!
Leaves in autumn can cause many problems for the storm drainage system. If leaves are not properly bagged, they collect in the streets. When it rains, these leaves are then carried to a catch basin where they can block the inlet. This prevents stormwater from entering the sewer system and causes street flooding. For more information please download the pamphlet below.
