Who’s done it?
Can you spot the problem
There are many different ways soil and dirt can be washed into the stormwater drain:
When soil being delivered to your home is dumped on the footpath and spills into the gutter.
People sweep their paths and driveway and sweep the dirt into the gutter.
Soil from garden beds gets washed into the stormwater drain when it rains or if the garden is over- watered.
