Rain is upon us. Several corners in Sunnyside regularly get flooded when debris flows down with rainwater and then builds up in the storm drains. The SFPUC has a program to keep storm drains clear this rainy season with your help — its called Adopt-a-Drain.

From SFPUC: Have You Adopted a Drain Yet?
We’re proud to announce over 260 storm drains throughout SF have been adopted! One resident had this to say:
“My family of four have typically cleaned the two drains in our neighborhood (which I signed up for tonight) at our corner for the past 25 years. I’m glad you began this program as it involves people in our community and helps me teach my sons a sense of civic pride and duty. My father is a retired civil engineer and one of his tasks was to design road drains. My siblings and I grew up understanding the importance of cleaning drains. I have taught my sons this lesson.”
Join your neighbors in protecting the environment, managing stormwater and help the City minimize flooding by clearing drains of debris. Visit Adopt-a-Drain to see who in your nieghborhood is doing their part and adopt your own drain today – and give it a creative name!
