The Difference Between Storm Sewers & Sanitary Sewer Systems Everyone has seen storm drains before, and just about everyone has heard of a sewer system. But could you name the major differences between the two of them? Do you know that the two of them can often be mixed up? Not only does this mistake keep some people confused, but it can also have damaging effects on the environment and the systems built within it. Here we outline the major differences between storm drains and sewer systems, and how to properly maintain them.  A storm drain is a system designed for the purpose of carrying rainwater or melting snow. They can often be found, built into roadside curbs, alleys, or basements floors. Storm drains often carry rainwater and melted snow through an underground system that ends up in nearby rivers, creeks, or the ocean. A storm sewer contains untreated water. So the water that enters the river or ocean at the other end is the same water that entered the sys

Cost-Effective Drywell Maintenance Solutions A drywell is a small excavated pit filled with either gravel or stone that plays a vital role in temporary storage of rainwater until it eventually soaks into the ground soil. Its connection to a roof downspout is direct or indirect for effective collection of rainwater. Although it has many merits associated with rain garden, it barely involves landscaping or planting maintenance. Many people prefer to install a drywell at home because the overall installation cost is affordable. Ideally, it is the one of the quickest and simplest ways to manage rainwater from the rooftop, allowing it to infiltrate through the soil. This in turn recharges the ground aquifer. In addition, it enhances water quality as it effectively reduces rainwater runoff and sewer overflow into the local streams and rivers. Over the course of time, solid and scum, lint as well as soap in wastewater can easily clog openings in the well walls and pores
