Storm Water drainage lines are located throughout the entire city.

Rainwater flows off urban streets, parking lots, construction sites, and neighborhoods, where it is then channeled into the City's Storm Water drainage system of pipes and ditches. Its final destination is our creeks, bays, estuaries, and oceans.

The Public Works Department provides Storm Water management services to: 

improve storm water quality, protect community from flooding and maintain storm water infrastructure.
