Storm drain maintenance completed in Mebane neighborhood today. Tackled 8 catch basins that were about 60-70% clogged with debris, causing localized flooding after recent heavy rains. Used our vacuum truck to remove approximately 3 cubic yards of sediment, leaves, and trash. Found a particularly nasty clog in the basin at the corner of Maple and Pine - pulled out an entire shopping cart someone had dumped in there! Impressive but definitely not good for drainage. Jet-flushed all connecting pipes to ensure complete system flow. Discovered one section of pipe between basins 3 and 4 with root intrusion - scheduled for specialized cutting next week. Applied environmentally safe algae inhibitor to prevent slime buildup. All grates were cleaned and inspected for structural integrity, found two that need replacement due to vehicle damage. Left site clean with all waste properly contained for disposal at treatment facility. System now flowing at 100% capacity just in time for tomorrow's foreca
