Calling Storm Drain Adopters in Sunnyside

On By Sunnyside Neighborhood AssociationIn SFPUC, StreetsLeave a comment

The rains aren’t finished yet. San Francisco Water Power Sewer’s Adopt-a-Drain program counts on local heroes to prevent flooding due to blocked storm drains. Anyone can join the program. Register or view the map here.

Sunnysiders have stepped up — the adoption rate on our streets is over three times the rate overall in the city.* However, there are many still left to adopt. Three storm drains in particular have been flagged by SFPUC as needing care at Foerster and Monterey.

Message from SFPUC for drain adopters:

Dear Drain Hero,

April showers mean our storm drains will continue working hard taking in rainwater. To help keep the drains clear, today is a great day to quickly check on your adopted drains as we’re expecting a little bit more rain on Friday and through the weekend. Clearing debris from your adopted drain before the storm will help keep our sewer system running smoothly.

A few reminders before you clear your drain:

  • Please never attempt to remove the drain grate.
  • Clear from the sidewalk, not the street.
  • Wear reflective clothing so drivers can see you.
  • Always wear gloves, use a rake, broom, or shovel – not your hands – and be careful of sharp objects.
  • Having fun clearing your drain? Take and post a photo or a video and tag us on social media with @sfwater #sfsewer #adoptadrain.
