When we first moved to the Village there was this old guy who cleaned all the drains before a storm - I thought he was crazy until someone told me he owned half the places around here. I miss that guy!

.

Driving along rt 440 or West Side Avenue from Bayonne to Journal Square noticed almost every street sewer is covered with crap. Cans, bottles, papers, and cardboard. If you saw videos from the flood at Sip and West Side last week you would be amazed to know that the sewers there are blocked with crap as of Sunday. I know there are other issues in that spot which has been flooding for decades but at least give the poor intersection a fighting chance and clean off the sewer.

If you can safely clean off a sewer near you do so.

I know I am dreaming but maybe the city and county will take care of it before the expected heavy rain as can be seen coming in MDM?s Isaias Hurricane track thread.
