The Dalles Public Works crews next week will be cleaning storm water catch basins in the downtown area. Cleaning catch basins allows for fast drainage into the storm water conveyance system. Crews are scheduled to work on First, Second, Third and Fourth Streets from the west side of Lincoln Street to the east side roundabout. Work will occur between 9:00 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. each night, to cause the least disruption to traffic and businesses. Public Works asks motorists to park so that the catch basins are accessible during the night work hours. Temporary traffic controls will not be used during these low traffic hours. Stay well clear of the vacuum truck when the truck lights are flashing. W. 6th Street from Cherry Heights Road through W 3rd Place are scheduled to be cleaned shortly after 7:00 a.m., with traffic controls, during the same week.
