Ask for local references. Use local contractors and labor because they have a reason to do good work or you’ll bad mouth them and cost them business. It’s a small town. Common sense. Makes me laugh when people go to Phoenix or Flag or Prescott and complain they get screwed on home or commercial work like my neighbor. She ended up spending more trying to get it cheap with Phx contractors. You get what you pay for people.

The City of Sedona continues its Pre-Monsoon inspection and clean-up program, which was started last year. This program involves inspection of public and private drainage ways in various areas of the City during the months of May and June of this year.

The purpose of an inspection is to identify debris, dirt, and vegetation in drainage ways that would significantly impede the flow of stormwater during a monsoon storm, or that may be carried downstream by the storm. Debris, dirt, and vegetation that is moved downstream may clog culverts, and bridge underpasses resulting in additional flooding, beyond what might have occurred if drainage ways had been free flowing.

Because many of the drainages to be inspected pass through the rear of properties, property owners and residents along drainages can expect to be contacted by City personnel.

City personnel will have badges identifying them as City employees or as City contractors. If you have questions regarding a person’s association with the City or this program, call (928) 204-7111.
