Help Prevent Flooding: Keep Catch Basins Clear

Wetaskiwin has experienced periods of significant rainfall, and residents can help reduce localized flooding by keeping nearby catch basins clear and free of debris.

Catch basins are part of the City's stormwater system designed to manage rainwater. With 968 catch basins throughout Wetaskiwin, community support plays an important role in helping the system function effectively during heavy rain events.

During and after rainfall, residents are encouraged to check nearby catch basins and remove any leaves, grass clippings, twigs, litter, or other debris that may block water from entering the drain. Even a partially blocked catch basin can cause water to pool on roads and contribute to localized flooding.
