The city of Renault provides sand bags to prevent floods – a column

Reno, Nev. (Kolo) – Northern Nevada expects to get a significant amount of rain within the next few days.

The city of Renault supplies free sand bags in several places. “Only in the event that you have floods on your alley or backyard,” said Andrew Pattaud, the city leader of the crew for sewage and turbulent sewers. “You can come to any sand places to get free sand and sand bags for your yard.” But you have to bring your own shovel.

There are six seats in the city. “One is in Mira Loma Park. We also have one at the 1640 East Commercial Row, which is our main office of the Yard corporation and we also have one of Red Baron instead of Moya, “Patnaud added. The Renault 5 Fire Station, the Horseman’s Park and Idlewild Park are also open 24-7.

The city’s crew leads tips for the effective use of sand bags. “I would suggest filling your booths half full. Do not fill them to the top so you can fold them and place them on the other side. You can arrange them on top of each other, “Patnaud said. “If you fold the bags and place them on top, then you get a better seal. If you fill them too full, then they will not arrange good and tight together. “

City authorities also advise homeowners to clean their gutters and stop by the storm before the rain arrives.
