Over time sediment can fill up a storm sewer drain and keep water from flowing through the system. If your drain is filled with dirt, call the Public Works Department (636-390-1030) to schedule a time for them to come out and vacuum out the debris. Keeping water flowing helps keep water off the street and out of your basement. #vacoutthecrud #cleanthedrains #SWPPP #washmo #waterwisewednesday
