DW, On our way down to lunch at the Diner today, I we looked around at some of the "paved over" catch basins. I think the term paved over is a bit misleading. What I did see, and it still wasn't a smart move, is new asphalt that reduced the opening of the catch basin. I would guess most of these openings were originally six inches or so. When they overlaid the street, it looks like the asphalt reduced that opening to between 3 and 4 inches. Paved over would indicate the asphalt was laid over the top of a manhole which isn't a drain. What I found more of is where the new pavement is three inches above the existing manholes to the point it feels like you're hitting a pothole when you drive over them. Special thanks to Mrs. O today for putting up with me stopping at every single corner between our house and the diner to check out these openings. LOL
