Keep the lowest streets in Suisun City draining by clearing curb gutters monthly (2026-07-19)

Suisun City's oldest streets sit barely above the slough, and a blocked gutter here means water in yards within an hour of hard rain. Leaves, silt, and trash pile against the curbs faster than sweeping cycles catch them. A monthly clear on the lowest blocks buys the whole drainage system time. Standard: Municipal MS4 gutter and inlet maintenance practice; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Before/after gutter photos per block Method (Municipal MS4 gutter and inlet maintenance practice; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Walk the lowest assigned blocks near the waterfront and flag packed gutter runs. 2. Rake and bag debris from the gutter line, keeping everything out of the inlets. 3. Leave each inlet grate visible and unblocked without opening it. 4. Stage bags per city collection rules and log the blocks cleared. 5. Photograph each stretch before and after with street signs in frame. Done when: Before/after gutter photos per block

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–75 minutes. Method of record: EPA green-infrastructure inspection (bioretention / bioswale / permeable pavement function + maintenance)

Bring

• measuring tape
• GPS phone
• camera
• trowel / probe
• data sheet
• gloves

Steps

1. 1. Locate the GI asset; record GPS; identify the type (rain garden / bioswale / permeable pavement / tree filter).
2. 2. Photograph the asset, its inlet, and its outlet/overflow.
3. 3. Check the inlet and outlet for blockage (sediment, trash, mulch) and note whether flow can enter/leave freely.
4. 4. Check for standing water and estimate whether it drains within the design window (typically <24-48h after rain); probe media if dry.
5. 5. Assess vegetation/media condition and estimate sediment/trash accumulation depth.
6. 6. Note erosion, bypass, or structural damage and list the maintenance needed.
7. 7. Enter asset type, condition, inlet/outlet status, drainage observation, sediment level, maintenance needs, GPS, photos; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water persists > 48h after rain -> flag failed infiltration (clogged media) for rehab.
• Inlet or outlet blocked -> flag for cleaning; the asset isn't capturing runoff.
• Erosion, undercutting, or flow bypassing the asset -> flag for repair.
• Documentation only — no digging out media or altering structures.

What counts as done

• Asset type + overall condition recorded
• Inlet + outlet clear/blocked status recorded
• Standing-water / infiltration observation recorded
• Sediment/trash level + maintenance recommendations + GPS + photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
