Flood Notes

• Fargo: Due to the historically late spring flood, the Fargo City Commission has approved postponing cleanup week to September 23 – 27, 2013. The annual electronics recycling event has been postponed to Saturday, September 21. Cleanup week is traditionally held during the first week of May, however, the Red River is anticipated to crest in early May this year. Levee removal and flood cleanup will likely extend through May and into early summer.
• Fargo: With the potential for increased flow in the sanitary sewer system this spring, Fargo residents who have bypass waivers are asked to divert sump discharge outside. City regulations require that residents discharge their sump pumps into a yard or a storm sewer from April 1 – September 30. [City of Fargo Press Release]
