Sacramento Utility Crews Working To Avert Flooding Issues

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The city says it is swamped.

Sacramento utility crews are responding to dozens of storm-related calls, unclogging storm drains and clearing debris.

To minimize concerns, crews are also on constant levee watch, working 12-hour shifts, looking for erosion and boils, and repairing as needed.

The city calls it a 24/7 operation as the wind and rain intensifies.

People are urged to clear debris from storm drains to prevent flooding, and as always nonemergency calls can go through the city line by dialing 311.
