The City of Katy is asking residents for help to prevent drainage issuesDuring our inclement weather please keep Katy streets clear for debris removal and drainage by doing your part and rolling in your cart! Returning your carts after collection allows for scheduled street sweeping and helps keep trash and receptacles out of our storm drains and drainage ditches.For collection place trash can on the curb, not in the street. After collection, return your carts to their storage area such as behind a fence or on the side of your garage/house and make sure they are secure from wind. Don't lose your cart, write your address on a piece of tape and place inside the lid.Other items that help us keep storm drains clear are:- Never put anything in the storm drain or drainage ditch.- Do not place any loose garbage bags, bags of lawn clippings, branches or limbs near the sidewalk or curb that could float away if water gets above curb level.- Secure/store any items they may float or blow away during a weather event (basketball hoops, lawn furniture, trampolines, etc.).- Try not to park in the street, but if you need to, please try not to park in front of any curbs inlets.- If you see litter and trash in your neighborhood, pick it up and properly dispose of it.Thanks Katy for doing your part!
