What is the Storm Drain Fee on my bill?
When it rains, water flows into storm drains, which are part of a District-owned and maintained network of gutters, catch basins, manholes, underground pipes, and pump stations that carry the storm runoff into the San Francisco Bay. Parts of the system are more than a century old. The Storm Drain Fee is a long-term investment strategy that is needed to repair vital systems and upgrade components, improve maintenance, and increase capacity. If storm drains fail, storm runoff will back up, leading to street flooding and other problems.
