Crews with San Francisco Department of Public Works are scrambling to fill potholes and clear drains ahead of the next round of heavy rain.
's Department of Public Works scrambled to fill as many potholes as they could before the next round of storms creates new work for them.
Rain off and on since January has meant a bumper crop of potholes around San Francisco. "Last month alone we had more than 1,500 hundred potholes filled. This month, more than 300 so far. January more than 1,000," said Gordon. Public works crews are also focused on the drains along the roads too. "So they're taking away any leaves and debris, so the water, when it does rain, can flow down into the drain and really help prevent localized flooding," said Gordon. "We have our tree crews out looking for any precariously hanging branches, so they can get those down."
