TYPES OF POLLUTION

Storm Drains and Sanitary Sewers They are not the same!

STORM DRAINS

WHAT IS A STORM DRAIN? Drains in the ground that conduct water that collects during and after rain and snow storms on streets and sidewalks to other locations to reduce puddling and flooding. Drains in the ground that conduct water that collects during and after rain and snow storms on streets and sidewalks to other locations to reduce puddling and flooding. In Berea, our storm drains are directed into the East Branch of the Rocky River and eventually flow into Lake Erie.

STORM DRAINS

STORM DRAIN POLLUTION Our biggest water quality problems don’t come from a discharge pipe. They come from stormwater washing off the land—roads and rooftops, lawns and construction sites, parking lots and driveways. Our biggest water quality problems don’t come from a discharge pipe. They come from stormwater washing off the land—roads and rooftops, lawns and construction sites, parking lots and driveways. The problems include the flooding volumes of water that flow off the hard, impervious surfaces of our urban and suburban landscapes, as well as all the pollutants that are washed off these surfaces.

WHAT SHOULD GO DOWN A STORM DRAIN?, STORM WATER, OF COURSE!

SANITARY SEWERS A sewer which carries sewage (liquid or waterborne waste from plumbing fixtures) and to which storm and surface water, street runoff, and groundwater are not admitted intentionally. A sewer which carries sewage (liquid or waterborne waste from plumbing fixtures) and to which storm and surface water, street runoff, and groundwater are not admitted intentionally. A sewer that transports only wastewaters (from domestic residences and/or industries) to a wastewater treatment plant.

COMBINED STORM DRAINS & SANITARY SEWERS – COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS Storm drain on top of sanitary sewer. Notice there is no top to the sanitary sewer. Storm Drain Sanitary Sewer

COMBINED SEWER OVERFLOWS Older systems have combined sanitary/storm drains. Problems: Problems: 1. During heavy rains sewage will “overflow” into storm drain pipe (and vice-versa) and/or 1. During heavy rains sewage will “overflow” into storm drain pipe (and vice-versa) and/or 2. The storm drain may clog backing up the storm water therefore causing overflow between sewage and storm water. The storm drain (now storm water & sewage) flows to the nearest surface water body (river, creek, lake, ocean) and contaminates the water. Common contaminant is Fecal coliform bacteria. 2.
