Storm-water Sewers/Basins Blocked - Causing Flooding

Many storm-water drains and their basins (pits) are in drastic need of inspection and maintenance. I have observed drains and pits that are totally blocked - due to yard waste washing onto and into the drains and basins. Many of the pits beneath the sewer-covers are filled with everything from bottles and cans to clothing, Styrofoam objects, baby toys, etc.

This condition exists in many neighborhoods in Huntington. Are any of your neighborhood's streets flooding because drains and/or gutters are cluttered with solid waste that needs removed? Are the drain-pits filled with debris?
