Leaves have the potential to become debris that can impact the performance of our storm drains. Please remember to place your leaves in a bag for collection. We also strongly encourage our customers to carefully remove leaves from the top of a storm drain if you see this issue in your neighborhood. However, never attempt to remove a storm drain cover, only the debris on the top of it. If a storm drain appears to be clogged, please contact our Emergency Dispatch 24/7 line at 412-255-2423 or on Twitter @pgh2o and provide an address or cross street for the location. A photo of the drain is also very helpful, as it will give us an idea of the necessary steps required for a solution. Thank you for your help in keeping our neighborhoods safe from flooding!
