Frequently Asked Questions

Why does water run across roads in heavy rains?
Due to costs involved we can not install large enough culverts to carry more than a 5 year return rainfall.

Why don't you mow weeds at Scottsbluff's drain?
We are programming improvement products which flatten steep banks that will allow mowing.
