Vacuum Truck Program

 
Workers using Vacuum Truck to Remove Sane and Debris from Drainage Network Pic 2
This program maintains the underground stormwater drainage system after installation.  Two vacuum trucks are deployed to remove sand, vegetation, tree roots, and other debris from the drainage network.  Clogged pipes can cause road and swale flooding during storm events.  These trucks' suction and flushing capabilities allow pipes to be cleared in place vs. digging up a pipe, which can compromise the pipe's integrity or the road/swale above.

If you suspect pipes or catch basins in your neighborhood are clogged, please contact the 311 Call Center, formerly the Citizen’s Action Center, by dialing 311 or (239) 574-0425 with an exact location or address.
