Storm drain systems need to be cleaned regularly. Routine cleaning reduces the amount of pollutants, trash, and debris both in the storm drain system and in receiving waters. Clogged drains and storm drain inlets can cause the drains to overflow, leading to increased erosion. Cleaning increases dissolved oxygen, reduces levels of bacteria, and supports in-stream habitat. Areas with relatively flat grades or low flows should be given special attention because they rarely achieve high enough flows to flush themselves.
Some common pollutants found in storm drains include:
- trash and debris
- sediments
- oil and grease
- antifreeze
- paints
- cleaners and solvents
- pesticides
- fertlizers
- animal waste
- detergents
