flood, standing water

Storm drain was recently discovered in a cleanup and and needs to be cleared out due to flooding in active alley.

Street Flooded

The Drain Plate only possesses (6) small Slotted Holes so, debris quickly blocks the Catch Basin which then causes the street to flood.

Suggestion: install a 2" +/- height raised catch basin plate in place of the antiquated version now in use. The raised plate would still allow water to drain even if debris is drawn to the Catch Basin.

When the city, will fixed the problem in front of my house.

There are no houses on this portion of the street - the blocked basin or drain is directly north of the bridge across the river. It has been flooding repeatedly for at least a year.

Water comes out of the catch basin continuously and its flooding the street

BLOCKED BASINS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET ARE CAUSING FLOODING IN THE STREET.
