Check the flow 

Check these areas to make sure water is flowing into nearby storm drains.

  • Roof drains
  • Driveway and foundation drains
  • Downspouts
  • Sump pumps

Do not allow water to flow into the sanitary sewer system.

The City moves untreated stormwater and snowmelt to our lakes and rivers

It flows there through:
