Inlet ScreensInlets are the curbside and grate drains you see in roads. When it rains, water goes down those drains and runs downhill to the lagoon or the river. These drainage systems do little to treat the water, but they do prevent your streets from getting flooded. In some cases inlet screens or other devices have been inserted to trap leaves, trash and some dirt, thereby reducing the amount of pollutants that reach the lagoon or river. Inlet screens are routinely cleaned out by Brevard County staff. However, these systems can be easily overwhelmed or lose their effectiveness if inundated by yard wastes. Lawn clippings should be mulched or bagged and disposed of properly with other yard wastes.
