City asks residents to check catch basins

The City of Windsor is asking for some help making sure the roads do not get flooded.

It is asking residents to check their catch basins on the road in front of their homes. If the catch basin is not working properly, call 311.

"Significant snowfall on Saturday mixed with freezing rain last night and rain today has created some messy conditions," said Executive Director of Operations Dwayne Dawson. "We're keeping an eye out for catch basins to ensure they can take in the water as it thaws, but if residents living near a catch basin can also check to see that it's clear, that would be helpful."

Crews continue to salt roadways, but ice can still form quickly. Conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably, so drivers are asked to slow down and use extra caution.
