City of West Fargo launches storm drain reporting form

By City of West Fargo Staff

The City of West Fargo has launched a form for residents to report problems with storm drains. Residents who notice a storm drain that is not operating correctly can use the map on the reporting form to identify the location of the problem and notify the proper City department of the damage. The map also identifies which storm drains are privately maintained by property owners and those that are already being worked on.

Storm drains are an important stormwater and flood management tool that collect rainwater, melting snow and other run-off. Their grated openings collect trash, leaves and prevent other waste from entering the storm sewer system. Storm drains may clog or flood over time, or become damaged from the rising and sinking of concrete caused by temperature swings and water flow. The new form will help residents and the City work together to maintain the storm sewer system.
