Quiz and Advice from Your Service Department
-
Do you dispose of yard waste, grass and tree branches,
on your property or your neighbors' property?
-
Does your property include a stream that is being
narrowed by dumping?
-
Is the stream on your property being maintained,
removal of trees, cattails, etc., to eliminate flow restriction?
-
Are you storing cut wood on your property that has the
potential to be washed away in a storm that could restrict a catch
basin or drainage pipe?
-
Does your property end at a ravine that you or your
neighbors use as a dumping site?
If
the answer to these questions is "Yes" you could be contributing
to the flooding that occurs during rainstorms.
Each citizen has a stewardship toward maintaining their property and
insuring that yard waste is placed at the curb for city recycling.
It
is important that we all do our part to introduce rain water back to the
soil. Semiannual plugging/aeration to your lawns will help very much to
let rain/storm water penetrate the clay/soil we have here in Brecksville.
Please do your part toward helping us with this very important topic.
Remember your participation could avoid the flooding of one or many
Brecksville properties.
