 And the idea behind it, directing stormwater into the ground instead of into the sewers, can be applied in a lot of different ways. Is this something I could help out with at home? For sure. Catherine has a few ideas. A lot of people still have their roof leaders, downspouts, basement sump pumps connected to their sewer connection. So that's directing stormwater to our combined system. If you have a grassy area in your yard where you can redirect your stormwater from your downspouts, you should try to do so.
