Many Sunnyside residents participate in the Adopt-a-Drain program from SFPUC. Now is the time to give your pet storm-drain some attention. Message from SFPUC:

Rain is expected to start Tuesday, November 26 and may continue through the next few days in San Francisco. The best time to clear leaves and litter from your adopted drain is prior to rain.

A few reminders before you roll up your sleeves and get to work:

• Clear from the sidewalk, not the street.
• Please never attempt to remove the drain grate.
• Wear reflective clothing so drivers can see you.
• Always wear gloves, use a rake or broom or a trash grabber – not your hands, and be careful of sharp objects.
• If you see a badly-clogged drain that you can’t clear, please report it to 311 online at sf311.org , on the app for Android and iPhone, or by calling 3-1-1.

While our crews continue to inspect, clean, repair, replace and maintain our 1,000+ miles of sewer pipes and 25,000 storm drains, we can’t thank you enough for helping minimize the risk of flooding and protecting the environment. We are very proud that our city has come together and over 2,000 community members, like you, have adopted more than 3,100 drains in San Francisco. Keep it going!

Rain is coming! Time to clear your drain.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please visit sfwater.org/adoptadrainsf, or contact us RainReadySF@sfwater.org. We’d love to hear from you! Don’t forget to visit sfwater.org/RainReadySF to find out what you can do to be rain ready.

Thank you,
