City welcomes drought-breaking rain : "Emergency services received around 20 calls for minor flood damage in the metro area, saying they're frustrated by blocked gutters and down pipes and urge residents to clean up their act."
As I said yesterday, I had to run out inbetween downpours to unblock a downpipe, and that was one I had previously cleaned not long ago.It was the dry leaves and bits which had blown onto the roof from the hot, dry winds. The water restrictions have banned us from cleaning our gutters with high pressure hose attachments. For me , that was the quickest way to clean gutters and it didn't take long. The water coming off went straight onto the garden. Without that, hand scraping and ladders are all too fraught with problems and so time consuming. I have built myself a gutter cleaning gadget which works quite well, but the quick, brisk jet of water was so easy and efficient. We are not all able to cavort around at height.
