The City of Dunwoody has received this issue. It is registered as service request # 2367. Currently, we are working on this issue. Please check back for status updates.
The opening measured by staff was approximately 6” in height, which is within normal construction practices. The city typically does not install screens or other obstructions in the flow path of catch basin openings. Screens collect debris, which can obstruct water flow. Debris removal from screens becomes a maintenance issue for the city. During the fall, clogged catch basin openings can create a traffic hazard by retaining water in the roadway.
In addition, screens can become detached after being struck by vehicles or due to other failures. Detached screens can also become a traffic hazard or maintenance issue. For these reasons, further action is not planned.
