New orleans has new solution for clogged catch basins

So they're finally officially throwing their hands up and saying "frick it, you do it".

And the subsurface drainage just below the storm water grate is completely clogged with fines & organics.

A person dundu nuffin by cleaning around their grate.

This isn't new. There was an effort recently for something like an adopt a catch basin campaign.

frick the SWB, you get plenty of money. You do it. The whole damn thing needs to be privatized.

And, be sure to turn in your bottles for a deposit refund.

The parish cleaned mine out in Metairie a few days after I called. They even went so far as to do the entire block, and flushed it all out. I wonder if the chocolate city is gonna have people fight crime next

Adopt a Catch Basin has been around for a while now baw

99 percent of them are clogged because the people who live there, blow their grass clippings into them, allow loose trash on the street to get into them, etc.

If people took any pride in their street, this would be a lot less of a problem.

Whenever there's a storm in the gulf, or prediction of heavy rain, I walk outside and make sure any trash is picked up, any grass clippings are removed, and I take my shovel and reach as far as I can into the drain to clear it out. It takes 15 min.

But I don't post it on social media so I guess it doesn't happen lol

how much do i get paid for each catch basin cleaned?
