N.Y.C.D.E.P. on W12th Road re: Sewer and Storm Drain clean-outs

National Water Main Cleaning on Cross Bay Boulevard and West 12th Road at 1:00 pm, Monday, January 17, 2011 

The City D.E.P. had contractors working on West 11th, 12th and 13th Roads today ostensibily cleaning out waste and storm water lines on those blocks.

In addition to the pump truck which worked out of the street main on Cross Bay Boulevard, they also had a utility truck parked at the end of West 12th Road (see picture below) which simply sat there for the duration as the work crews never opened or inspected the main at the end of our block.

I guess we will find out how well this "clean-out" worked when we receive our next substantive rainfall!

Hopefuly, we will be in contact with the Borough President's Office within a week at which time we can arrange a meeting to ascertain the status of the flood mitigation project on our block.
