Tired of the snow? Turns out that even when it melts it causes problems. The weather is supposed to be warm this weekend, causing to snow to melt and new concerns about flooding. So, the new appeal is to help clear the storm drains. According to city staff:
We will be assigning crews today and through the weekend to clear inlets. We have a priority list of areas that have been a problem in the past and we will concentrate on those. We will also take calls on actually localized flooding from 911, the Streets Division and the public.
Melt waters are not the volume of summer thunderstorms and most inlets that are partially clear should handle the flow.
According to Channel 3 this morning, if you see storm drains which you are concerned about, you should call City Engineering and alert them and they will be sending crews out to clear the snow from those areas.
