Every year we go through all our storm sewer catch basins and vacuum out debris that is in there. We've been doing this for quite a few years.

They have donated up to $600 worth of donated time and materials to the township.

I do believe this program does help eliminate problems before they happen. We normally do this in the spring when we generally get most of our rain events.

I have appropriated $20,000 to do this. There is no really knowing how long it will take or how much debris is in our storm systems. I hope we can get it done in the same time frame, but appropriated that amount just in case we couldn't.

The last two years we have been a real young team. Last year we started seven or eight sophomores, but this year the girls are maturing and getting stronger and learning the system a little better.

There's a lot of trash, a lot of debris, a lot of sentimental things that mean something to somebody, everywhere.
