Falling Leaves & Debris

It’s fall!  Leaves, sediment and other debris can block storm drain intakes and catch basins. When this happens, rainwater runoff has nowhere else to go other than puddling in the streets, onto sidewalks and lawns, as well as into structures. The resulting flood damage and erosion can be incredibly costly to repair. This is why it is vital not to rake, blow or pile leaves and other fall debris, such as twigs and small branches, onto the street. Let's keep Plumsted Township safe, together.
