City warns of flooded streets and moving manhole covers

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) The City of Sioux Falls is warning motorists to watch out for flash flooding and even missing manhole covers.

The area has been getting large amounts of rain in short timeframes and more was expected.

Do not drive into flooded intersections. There may be debris on the road or under the water that a driver cannot see, and even a small amount of moving water can carry a vehicle off the road.  

Also, watch for manhole covers that may be missing from roadways. When the storm drainage system becomes pressurized because of high flows, some manhole covers may move or lift off.

To report a missing manhole cover, call the Public Works Street Division at 605-367-8255.
