City of Duncan

The leaves are falling and the rain is here. Declutter your Gutters - Be sure to check culverts, gutters, downspouts and perimeter drains around your home to ensure everything is working properly, and free from debris. Clear Catch Basins and Culverts - The City crews do regular catch basin and culvert cleaning, but clearing leaves and debris away from a catch basins on the road or culverts is always a good idea. This will allow the stormwater to flow into the stormwater system and away from your property. ~ Thank you!
