How Are Catch Basins Maintained?
Remove Debris from Grates
The grates of catch basins can become clogged with litter or leaves, especially in the spring and fall. Regularly inspect the grate and remove debris.
Remove Debris from Storage Area
Catch basins should be cleaned out before the storage area is half full. Once this level is reached, debris begins to wash into sewer pipes. Cleaning should be done in the spring after the first large snow melt, in the fall after trees have shed their leaves, and additionally if needed.
To find out how much material has accumulated in the storage area of your catch basin, insert a long pipe or broom stick into the storm drain grate. Notice where the pipe or stick hits the debris and continue to the bottom to estimate the depth of accumulation.If you feel any debris you should have it cleaned.
