ABSTRACT:
A catch basin guard and filter for preventing entry into a catch basin and subsequently a storm drain. The preferred embodiment provides a form fitting cover having a grate. The invention is designed for catch basins being installed in construction sites. The invention blocks the inlet of a catch basin, thereby deterring the entry of debris, animals and, most importantly, children. This deterrent increases the completion of construction because the catch basin will need less cleaning and evacuating before coupling to the existing storm drain system. The invention additionally has a mesh filter covering the grate, and a second embodiment employs overflow apertures to provide for the passing of fluids should the filter become clogged.
