A catch basin is a part of a storm system that traps debris so that it doesn’t get into drainage pipes. All of the snow that we’ve had can block the catch basins and cause flooding if crews do not clear it away. If it’s not cleared, the snow that has melted could re-freeze and make for dangerous driving.

Residents are asked to keep an eye on local catch basins and let the City of Roseville know if there is flooding in an area. Call 651-792-7004 or fill out a Fix It Form online at www.cityofroseville.com/fixitform to report a problem.
