A few homes have mounded their leaves on the the street. Rather than bagging or mulching. They are going to be in the storm drain with the upcoming rain. Please have them remove their leaves from the street
Leaves from other properties wash down the hill and covering the sewer drain at the bottom, blocking the path for runoff to enter the drain. A crew had recently come to take care of the blockage, but only removed some of the leaves and poked holes in the remaining pile covering the drain. With a big rainstorm coming soon, and this being a flood-prone area, its unlikely this doesn't result in serious flooding
Most neighbors in Sherwood Oaks did a good job taking care of their own leaves this year, but there are still many remnants and we haven't seen a street sweeper yet this winter. We'd thought that was something that was supposed to happen after leaf season -- there are still storm inlets getting clogged. Thank you!
