In Lowville, local officials are collaborating with regional agencies to enhance the storm drainage in key areas like East State Street and Hemlock Drive. Meanwhile, in St. Louis, the Metropolitan Sewer District is clearing drains of debris to prevent clogs that could lead to flooding during heavy rains.
