We had a good turnout this year for Spring Clean. At 9 am Saturday morning about 25 adults and kids assembled at Fast Frame to clean up and beautify Madison Street. The event is sponsored by the Madison Valley Merchants Association and McGilvra PTA with help from local residents and businesses.

Spring Clean Report

Please get out and check the storm drains around your buildings!

Rain and snow don’t mix: Clear blocked storm catch basins and culverts

Tonight’s storm is forecast to bring a mix of rain and snow overnight.

With most of the City beneath a significant amount of snow, storm drains are covered, too.

Systems blocked with ice and snow can cause local flooding of roads and private property.

Our Public Works crews are working hard to clear roads as quickly as possible, but you can help reduce the chance of flooding in your neighborhood.

Blocked Storm Catch Basins and Culverts – What To Do:
• Monitor neighborhood storm catch basins and driveway culverts and keep them free of ice, snow and debris. This may mean clearing them repeatedly as snow falls, plows pass by, or ice builds up.

• Do not block storm catch basins and culverts with snow shoveled from your driveway.

• If the storm catch basin or culvert is blocked, use a shovel to clear it, and break up and remove any built up ice. If this does not help, report the blockage at My Sammamish Fix It

• NEVER remove a storm catch basin lid or attempt to clean a catch basin when located in a busy street.

• Do not wade into water when you are unsure of the depth.
