catch basins
Roadside water collectors
Catch basins are drainage structures that collect surface water runoff, typically at street corners or low points in pavement.
A grated opening at street level allows water to flow into an underground chamber, where debris settles before the water drains into storm sewers.
The city cleaned the catch basins before hurricane season.
