Now, before winter rainstorms arrive, is the time for home owners to check gutters, downspouts and perimeter drains around the house to ensure everything is working properly.
- Clear your gutters and downspouts of all leaves and debris. Ensure that they remain clear through the winter.
- Have your drain system cleaned and repaired if necessary. Remember, drain tiles will plug over time with mud, silt or roots, and in some cases, may even have failed due to age.
- Ensure that any surface drain, such as those located at the bottom of driveways and stairwells, are clear of mud and debris and remain clear through the winter.
The Township will make every effort to keep road side catch basins clear. Residents are requested to help by not depositing or allowing the accumulation of leaves in the curb and gutter.
