The Dalles Public Works crews will be cleaning storm water catch basins in the Downtown Area at night throughout the week.  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.  The overnight schedule will cause the least disruption to traffic and businesses.  The City is asking that cars are parked so the catch basins are accessible during the night work hours.  Temporary traffic controls will not be used during these low traffic hours.  Please stay well clear of the vacuum truck when the truck lights are flashing.  Basins on W. 6th Street from Cherry Heights Road through W 3rd Place are scheduled to be cleaned shortly this week each day after 7:00 a.m., with traffic controls in place.
