~ As the spring season arrives in Kansas City, residents are reminded to prepare for the upcoming summer storms and potential flash flooding. With over 700 miles of streams and rivers throughout the region, flooding is a real and significant threat to communities in the metro area.
To combat this issue, KC Water has been working on mitigation efforts such as separating combined sewers and implementing green infrastructure solutions. However, it is also important for residents to take measures to protect their properties and valuables.
One simple step that can make a big difference is keeping yard waste, such as grass clippings and leaves, away from streets, gutters, catch basins, and roadside ditches. When left in yards, this waste can be washed into stormwater drainage systems and cause clogging downstream, leading to localized flooding.

They encourage residents to talk to their neighbors about these measures and help them understand their significance. By working together, everyone can contribute towards making Kansas City a safer place for its residents and drivers.
