Bismarck city officials warn against driving in flooded streets due to heavy rainfall overloading the stormwater system.

Bismarck city officials warn residents against driving in flooded streets after heavy rainfall, as the city's stormwater system is overloaded, causing roadways to function as stormwater conduits. Up to 4 inches of rain fell in some areas, leading to flooded streets, stalled vehicles, and damage to businesses. Burleigh County is assisting by activating the Tavis pump station to move water from the city's south drainage ditch to the Missouri River.
