In an incident Canton public works officials are calling “Poopgate,’’ bags of dog waste clogged 3,600 feet of storm drain, preventing rainwater from clearing out of the streets after the string of March storms.

“Several yards were flooded under . . . 10 inches of water, and driveways were flooded. It wasn’t going down,’’ said Canton Public Works Superintendent Michael Trotta. “We were trying to clear it out, and discovered several dozen catch basins that were impacted by plastic bags of dog waste.’’

City officials spent three days cleaning out the affected drains, which were mainly near Dedham Street, he said.
