Winter Weather Tips, Utilities Dept. This system holds and carries stormwater to prevent flooding and erosion. To make sure the system functions well during winter storms, the storm and surface water utility maintains it year-round.
Clogged grates are often the reason a street floods during a storm.
Test it now to make sure it will be in good working order if a winter storm hits. Remember that during a storm it's normal for streams to rise and for some parking lots, streets, and parks to fill with water. We provide 24-hour emergency service for flooding, hazardous road conditions, down or damaged stop or yield signs, pollutant spills, water interruptions, sewer overflows, and water main breaks. The water utility maintains the water supply from the source to your meter. You are responsible for protecting water pipes from freezing and repairing broken pipes on your property.
