With the start of November, the Bay Area is heading into the rainy season. On Wednesday, Contra Costa County public works crews tried to get ahead of any potential problems this winter.
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY â CBS News Bay Area spotted public works crews in the area of San Pablo Reservoir, preparing for what could be another dangerously wet winter.'They're working along the sides to clear drainage ditches and to clean any slides that might be in that area,' said Contra Costa Public Works spokesperson Kelly Kalfsbeek.
There is still evidence of how hard the area was hit in last season's deluge: Sawed-off tree trunks on the side of the street and areas where the pavement is broken and uneven. And now, going from years of drought--to rainstorms of biblical proportions--has left officials having to plan for just about anything.'Oftentimes, if catch basins and roadside ditches and storm drains aren't prepared and cleaned, they can fill up rather quickly,' said Kalfsbeek.
