Winter rains will be here before long, and debris in gutters can cause blocked storm drains and street flooding. Leaves, trash, and pollutants such as herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers are harmful to the environment when washed into our local creeks and rivers, which flow into the Delta. This water is not treated before reaching these waterways, so keeping storm drains clear is essential.
Here’s how you can help:
-
Clear gutters and streets: Remove leaves, dirt, and trash in front of your home or business and dispose of it properly. Rake leaves and yard debris away from storm drain inlets and place them in yard waste (gray) containers. Note: City street sweepers cannot pick up leaves.
-
Avoid washing contaminants into drains: Do not hose pet waste, dirt, mud, or other debris into gutters or storm drains. Sweep or shovel debris into the trash instead.
-
Use chemicals responsibly: Apply pesticides and herbicides carefully and in moderation, avoiding application before rain. Sweep up oil or grease from driveways with absorbent materials and dispose of in the trash—never wash it into the gutter.
-
Protect stormwater: Never dump dirt, oil, paint, cement products, chemicals, or other pollutants into storm drains. City ordinances require keeping streets and gutters clear to protect water quality.
For questions or to report concerns, contact the Public Works Department at (209) 366-7260.
