Summer's Unusual Rains Wash Away Much Street Work
Ada city officials say two years of planned street work have been lost in three months due to unprecedented heavy rains. Drainage on dirt and gravel streets worsens as small drains fail to handle the flood, washing water and causing street damage. Water department notes new pipe installations are generally adequate, with 12 to 24 inch sizes used where needed, and warns residents to consult officials on proper sizes. Clogging from grass clippings in drainage ditches worsens surface water overflow and driving-surface damage.
