Above / Locate drains along the curbs in your neighborhood. If you’re unable to help clear them from leaves, snow and ice to help prevent flooding, let the City know when they appear to be disrupting the flow of water. All help is appreciated. Thank you.

Share info with friends/neighbors about city codes & code enforcement
Frequently at City Council meetings, City staff reminds the community that local code enforcement is best accommodated in Naperville when citizens let the City know of an infraction. The City staff calls it “complaint-based.”
Talk to neighbors and help them understand local codes regarding snow removal, yard sale signs and campaign signs, garbage containers, mobile storage units, etc. Sometimes folks, especially new neighbors, just don’t know the local codes; that it’s their responsibility to shovel and keep sidewalks clear on their property or that it’s up to them to help recognize when there’s a violation.
Remember never to dump anything down a curbside drain
Adopt-a-Drain Program
Also, local residents can participate in the “Adopt-a-Drain Program,” an initiative where homeowners can sign up to assist the Department of Public Works by monitoring drains and keeping them clear of leaves, debris, snow and ice to help prevent flooding in their neighborhoods.
