Unclog Your Drains

Keeping storm drains unclogged reduces flooding and alleviates pollution in local creeks. Piles of leaves create poisonous gas when they build up in the underground catch basins, which causes oxygen levels to fluctuate dangerously in nearby creeks and streams where fish and other wildlife live. Unclogging your storm drain takes little time, but does require that you watch the drains, especially in autumn, to make sure they stay clean going into winter.

Use a plumber's snake or pressure hose to remove any remaining leaves or debris that you couldn't remove the first time. Make sure to pile up the leaves and debris you collect away from the drain so they don't flow back in.
