What do you do with the bags when the flood waters are gone? There are many options after

the flood waters recede.

Depending on how often your

community floods, should

determine if you want to keep

the sand in the bags for later use.

Once these bags are filled and broken apart from the rest of

the system, they can be placed on pallets and stacked outside. When the next time you need to use them they will already

be filled. You can also use these to cover man hole covers and sewer drains.
