How can I tell if my house is hooked up to the storm drain?
January 29, 2025The City will investigate the storm drain systems and can dye test if necessary. You may also be able to determine if your house is connected. If you have curbs with holes in them at the street level, dump water in your gutters on a dry day, then watch in the street for the water to flow out onto the curb/street. However, if your house is lower than the street you will probably need to ask us for assistance. You can reach Public Works at (503) 625-5722.
