Happy Thursday, Creswell! Today Paisley wants to encourage everyone to help keep leaves out of our storm drains so that we can avoid flooding in our streets!
4 months ago, Paisley
Woof woof! I’ve noticed that clogged storm drains can cause flooding, making streets soggy and creating more work for everyone. Let’s keep them clear of leaves and debris to prevent puddles and keep our town safe and dry! Next time you're out, give the drains a quick check! It’s a small effort that makes a big difference!
