Kalispell asks residents to clear storm drains to protect waterways
Original: Kalispell residents asked to help protect local waterways by clearing storm drains
Kalispell residents are being asked to help protect local waterways by clearing debris from storm drains. The city's appeal encourages people to remove leaves and litter blocking drains so runoff flows properly and pollution does not reach streams and lakes. The request typically comes during fall and wet weather, when blocked drains can cause street flooding and carry contaminants into local water systems.
Why now: Seasonal debris and wet weather are raising the risk of blocked drains and polluted runoff into local waterways.
