Reported thefts of Catch Basin covers throughout the City
Over the last week, the Department of Public Safety and Department of Public Works have received several reports of catch basin covers being removed from City Streets. These thefts present a potential for injury as bicyclists or joggers may trip and fall as a result of the open catch basins.
These covers are being taken for the scrap value of approximately $50.00. To date, eight (8) have been reported stolen.
Residents are asked to be observant for any missing covers and report the location to the Public Safety Department (313.343-2400), so proper safety precautions can be implemented.
Barricades will be placed over the open basins to prevent injury until the DPW can replace the stolen covers.
