City of Duluth Utility Crews Prepare For Warm Weather

[Duluth, MN] City utility crews are actively preparing for the warming weather, and potential rains Wednesday night. Teams have been assigned around the City to open catch basins and storm drains to ensure that the system is open and functioning. Specialized equipment is also being utilized to thaw frozen culverts.

Furthermore, in the event of power outages, the City has backup generators on standby to ensure that water and sewer pump stations can remain operational during an interruption in electrical service.

While the crews are working every day to keep storm sewer catch basins and culverts open we still rely on help from citizens to notify us when a storm sewer is plugged and not draining.

If you notice large areas of standing water please call 218-730-4130.
