Does San Diego have a combined sewer system?
combined meaning storm drains also fall into sanitary sewers
Public Comments
- No. Storm drains in San Diego are not a part of the wastewater system. Storm drains in San Diego currently fall directly into our streams and the Pacific Ocean. If you've visited our airport in San Diego recently, you've probably heard about the "Think Blue" campaign, which is designed to educate residents and visitors to not pollute by throwing waste into storm drains, as they drain directly into the ocean.
