Dexter, Missouri - The National Weather Service is estimating quite a bit of rain for Saturday, February 21st, that coupled with the large amount of snowfall we have already on the ground could cause major flooding in Dexter.

Due to large amounts of snow in the ditches and driveway culverts the drainage is being blocked.  When the snow begins to melt and it rains several inches the liquid has to get to the ditches in front of homes.

If the melted snow and rain cannot flow freely then it will back up into homes and yards causing flooding and damage.


Please take some time today to open the driveway drain in front of your home.  The City of Dexter spent numerous hours on Thursday and will continue to try and free up large drains blocked by the snow.

Thank you,
Mark Stidham
City Administrator, Dexter

This could be recommended for anyone even in the county, if you have culverts or drainage, they need to be cleared or flooding may occur.
