Rainwater is already accumulating
If Valérie Plante wanted an argument in favour of sponge parks and roads, she’s got one now. Water is already accumulating in places it’s not wanted, and rain is expected to continue all week.

The leaves are making it hard for water to drain which is causing a lot of the flooding. I cleared the leaves from a few drains and it was very satisfying to watch all the water rush away into the sewer!

Yes, CE! I’m a fellow drain cleaner, so glad to hear I am not alone. I was out at 11 at night in my pj’s and an umbrella scooping leaves out. Once that sucking whirlpool starts and the big pool drains away, it is so satisfying! Thank you for your service.

Considering how many tickets I’ve received for forgetting to move my car on street sweeping day they sure don’t seem to be particularly useful if citizens need to be out in the rain in their pyjamas 😀
I go out with my ice chipper to clear the drains but I salute those of you on leaf patrol.
