Hi there, Mr. Mowry,
I think we spoke in the engineering department about this issue a couple of weeks ago, following the 1/10/24 storm and the possiblity of DPW scheduling a modification to the catch basin opening on the street that continues to become clogged and then bypasses.
The Town will not be able to address this issue until more fair weather prevails and things dry up a little, but I will speak with DPW about the modifications we discussed. If possible that should enable better drain inlet efficiency.
Please contact Engineering should you have any further questions.
Thank you

Oh, I see. I'll coordinate with DPW. There's a lot of cleanup from the last three storms we're dealing with. We'll be in touch shortly.
Thank you Marie.
