Description
The storm inlet at my driveway at 1499 54th Avenue NE is clogged with asphalt millings and is not draining. The other three inlets at the same intersection are draining. 54th Avenue NE was recently re-paved, and when the road was milled, the inlet was filled with millings. This has clogged the inlet, and as a result, the water will not drain into the storm system.
