What is a Storm Drain System?

A storm drain system is made up of:

. Street gutters which collect    runoff

. Storm drain pipe which    transports runoff

. Catch basins - inlets you    see at street corners, low    points of the sides of    streets, or in parking lot

. Detention/retention basins    that hold stormwater

. Ditches and drainage ways    that further transport    water our local creeks &    the North Platte River

Together all make up the City of Casper storm drain system which consists of:

. Over 529.7 miles of gutter    that collects water runoff

. 75 miles of storm sewer    pipe, three lift stations,    1,168 manholes

. 3,513 inlets / catch basins,   numerous ditches and      drainageways, and over 200   outfalls into our six creeks     and the North Platte River.
