ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a catch basin face cover for preventing entry into a catch basin and subsequently a storm drain. The preferred embodiment provides a form fitting cover for catch basins being installed in new construction. Newly constructed catch basins are generally not connected into existing storm drains, and consequently, tend to fill with water and debris, or become home for stray animals. The present invention blocks the inlet of a catch basin deterring the entry of water, debris, animals and, most importantly, children. This deterrent increases the completion of new construction sites because the catch basin will need less cleaning and evacuating before coupling to the existing storm drain system. Once the construction is complete, the cover has preformed punch-outs that allow water entry into the storm drain but prevent solid contaminants from entering the system.
