To the Editor:

Lee County asks the public to report blocked ditches, swales, canals and areas of local flooding.  

First, to find out if your road is maintained by Lee County DOT, visit http://leegis.leegov.com/RoadLookup/. If it is not maintained by Lee County, find your municipal contact by visiting leegov.com/dcd/flood. 

Second, put in a Request for Action (RFA) to improve surface water drainage along your county-maintained road by contacting the Request for Action Hotline at (239) 533-9400 or leegov.com/dot/requestforaction. 

People can use the same phone number and website to also report blocked creeks and streams (example: downed trees, collected debris). The reported information will be directed to Lee County Natural Resources.
