Storm Sewer

 A storm sewer is a separate sewer from the sanitary sewer.  While the sanitary sewer removes wastewater from your house, the storm sewer removes rainwater from the streets and consists of over 12km of pipe in the town. Although in some areas of town these sewers are combined, steps are being taken to separate storm water from the sewer system.  It costs extra money to treat rainwater when it is not necessary; rain water that enters a storm sewer has outfalls that can discharge into river & streams, where wastewater goes to the lagoon.
