Preparing Storm Drains for Winter Weather Conditions
Winter weather introduces new challenges for stormwater systems, including freezing temperatures and reduced water flow.
Debris left in storm drains before winter can trap moisture and contribute to ice formation inside pipes.
Ice buildup restricts drainage capacity and increases the risk of surface flooding during thaw cycles.
Preparing storm drains before winter helps ensure consistent performance during colder months.
Debris caps help keep drains clear by preventing debris accumulation that leads to winter related blockages.
