Why isn a net/fence/barrier installed at the end of the storm drain channels to catch all of the trash?
The City of Abilene manages the flood channels and, in fact, some do have a barrier or screen near the discharge point. Unfortunately, this only catches the trash that floats in the channels or detention ponds, leaving most of the toxins like pet waste, used oil, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. flow straight through into the local creeks.
