Warsaw Suggests Caution With Heavy Rains ExpectedHeavy rains of 4 inches or more are expected over the weekend, bringing a threat of flash flooding and flooding in low areas over the next several days, according to a news release from the city of Warsaw.
All residents should check storm drains and curb gutters and clear them of debris. If your storm drain is blocked and you are unable to clear it yourself, call the Warsaw Public Works Department at 574-372-9561, and crews will be dispatched to assist you.
The Warsaw Public Works Department will have sandbags available for delivery to city residents, if the need arises. Call 574-372-9561 during business hours. After business hours, call Central Dispatch at 574-267-5667. Sandbags will be delivered to your driveway. Crews do not place the sandbags. It is recommended to use a plastic liner with the sandbags to stop the penetration of water.
If you live in a low-lying or flood-prone area, have a plan in place to evacuate should the water levels start approaching unsafe levels.
City officials will continue to monitor changing conditions and respond accordingly throughout the weekend. Any significant updates will be posted to the city’s Facebook page.
