Friendly neighbor request: Keep storm drains clear of leaves and debris
Now that fall is well underway and the leaves are falling like snow, the Board would like to ask residents' help in keeping our neighborhood storm drains clear of leaves and other debris. Yes, it's chilly and windy out and more comfortable to stay inside, but it only takes 10-15 minutes to sweep the gutter and key sewer spots clear.
The storm drains don't have to be along your property, either -- anyone can clear a clogged storm drain, of course. If you see a debris collecting up the street, perhaps in front of an older resident's house, do your neighbor a favor and lend a helping hand. Get the kids involved, if you have them.
Obviously, keeping storm drains clear helps overall drainage throughout the neighborhood, protecting our properties and avoiding street flooding during heavy rains. (The same can be said about ice jams and melting snow piles during winter thawing, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.) Thanks for your help and cooperation.
