Anticipate Rain: Maintain Your Drain Some of our region’s biggest storms roll in between December and February. Now is the time to check your storm drains to help prevent flooding around your home and on our streets. Here’s what you can do:  Keep storm drains clear of leaves and debris – never wash debris down the drain.  Place leaves and other yard debris in your green waste container – not in the street.  Call Republic Services at 916-635-2500 to request an additional cart, residents can have up to three green waste carts without additional charge.  Green waste can also be taken to the Recycle Area at the Special Waste Collection Center (9255 Disposal Lane) free of charge.  Report a clogged storm drain or stormwater drainage problem to the Public Works 24-hour hotline at 916-687-3005.    Visit elkgrovecity.org/storm to learn more about flood preparedness or check water levels in the creeks and channels by visiting the City’s online Creek Monitoring Station at elkgrove.onerain.com/.
