Madison Residents Asked to Open Storm Sewer Inlets

With the City of Madison set to experience some warm weather followed by a day to two or rain there will be quite a bit of water running off Madison streets this week. The City of Madison is asking residents to clean out storm sewer inlets especially in low lying areas and intersections.

"City crews will begin working on clearing inlets on Tuesday," Streets Division spokesperson George Dreckmann said. "However, staff cannot get to every inlet in the City before the expected rainfall. Any assistance is greatly appreciated."
