  Drainage    
 

Standing water caused by poor drainage can cause a multitude of problems for homeowners, including saturated lawns and breeding of mosquitos.

We provide routine maintenance of drainage ditches and storm sewer catch basins to prevent flooding and allow proper drainage to occur. Residents can help by:

- Ensuring that ditches and culverts are clear of sticks, rocks, leaves, and other debris.
- Not parking vehicles in front of storm sewer drains.
- Not littering, and properly disposing of any litter they may observe.

Please call us at the number below if your ditch or storm sewer needs servicing, or if you would like to request a drainage inspection.
