I've watched the Creek Monitor all summer and it's worked great. Of course, we didn't need it then...

Just get a couple of bored teenagers to stand at each bridge on each creek with a cell phone to text the info and send pics to this website and then we would have a foolproof system!!

PA Public Works has done a good job so far.
Here is a neat site that gives an overview of San Francisquito Creek:

I walked along East Meadow Drive today (1/6), and the storm drains were blocked with leaves and debris. To stop flooding, it would really help if residents cleaned off the grates to the storm drains.
