I'd like to make some 1" wide openings in the curb that will allow the water
to flow through directly to the street.

Is there something I can Rent fomr HD or Lowes that would do this job
cleanly. There are other homes in my neighborhood with a similar opening in
the curb (actually 3 - 4" wide) with a PVC drain pipe installed for this
very purpose so I assume its OK of me to do as well.

thanks.



Don't assume. Anywhere I have ever spent time, you have to get a permit
to cut a curb, and a permit to run a drain pipe into the public
right-of-way. The pipes in the neighbor's curbs- you sure they JUST go
through the curb? I usually see those as downspout collectors or sump
pit overflows. I'm getting the impression your yard has grading and
draining issues.

What is making the slime? Is your yard a swamp? Runoff from my yard is
pretty much clear.
