Cleaning the sumps
Rainwater is unable to drain away when drainage gullies are blocked by garbage and leaves. To prevent rainwater from accumulating in the streets even during heavy rainfall, the employees of the Geschäftsfeld Stadtservice regularly clean all 10,000 rainwater inlets in the city. So you can get through Offenbach clean and dry!
If drainage box collection pipes or "wet drainage boxes" are blocked, they are flushed until the blockage is removed. Rattling, defective and missing drain covers are recorded during inspections and then repaired or replaced.
The drainage channels on public paths and squares - together, all these channels in Offenbach are over 2,000 meters long - are also regularly cleaned by the employees of the Stadtservice street cleaning department.
Blocked sumps and gutters
If you discover a blocked drainage box or a blocked gutter, you can report your discovery via the defect report or contact the customer service staff.
