drainage

At Headingley the whole ground flooded one time because of a problem with the drainage system.

The contractors allegedly sprayed it into building footprints, front lawns, neighboring properties and even in the street, where it could have ended up in drainage systems leading to the oceans.

“It’s hard to regain the trail coming back down and lot of people wander off into more dangerous drainages,” said sheriff’s spokesperson Sage Milestone.

Officials in some areas say rubbish clogged drainage systems, making the floods worse.

New guardrails, retaining walls, erosion control and drainage systems were put in place to address the destruction.
