There is construction in the area. However, it is believed that this was the result of the flooding 3 weeks ago.

Thank you for contacting the City of Raleigh. Your service request ID is #312672. We will be posting additional updates about your request as we have them.

Yes, there is construction upstream and there was recent flooding. But, shouldn't our creek beds be kept clean and free of as much debris as possible to prevent the potential for future flooding?

Yes, they should be. The City's Stormwater Management Program organizes stream clean-up efforts with the help of volunteers to address accumulation of debris in waterways. However property owners are responsible for clearing debris and litter on their property.
