City Of Shakopee: City Asks Residents To Clear Their Storm Drains

Press release from the City of Shakopee:

12/14/2021 3:00 pm

With rain in the forecast for Wednesday, Dec. 15, Shakopee Public Works crews are working to clear storm drains and catch basins in the city that are prone to flooding. When debris covers a catch basin, water drainage could be obstructed and possibly lead to streets and homes flooding. 

The city is asking that residents prepare for Wednesday's rainfall by checking their own storm drains near their homes or businesses and clearing any debris that could impact water drainage. 

Public Works crews are also working to finish clearing streets on which cars were parked in violation during the snow storm over the weekend. Please be mindful of the city's winter parking restrictions, which prohibit vehicles from being parked on any city street after snowfall of two or more inches. During a snowfall event, these restrictions are effective until the snow has been plowed curb to curb.
