Starting Wednesday and lasting throughout October, The Dalles Public Works crews will be cleaning stormwater catch basins throughout the City.  Cleaning catch basins allows for efficient drainage into the storm water conveyance system.  Crews will begin working from the east side of town toward Dry Hollow Road this week.  By next week, crews expect to work from the west side of town toward Cherry Heights Road.  Catch basins between Dry Hollow Road and Cherry Heights Road located south of 4th Street will be cleaned the week of October 13.  Work will occur between 7:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.  Motorists are asked to park so that the catch basins are accessible during these hours.  Temporary traffic controls may be put in place during work on any given catch basin.  If you have questions, call The Dalles Public Works office at (541) 296-5401.
