Does the Highway Department clean catch basins?

We try to clean basins at least once a year. With over 750 such structures, it is a daunting task. We sincerely appreciate those residents that keep the basin tops clean in front of their homes, particularly in the fall when they can become clogged with leaves.

REMINDER: catch basins are not intended to be trash receptacles. They are to collect rainwater and water from melting snow and ice.

NEVER DUMP OIL OR CHEMICALS INTO CATCH BASINS! All catch basins eventually drain to the river, which becomes polluted and harms fish and wildlife
