Sanitary Sewer
Collects wastewater leaving your home or business such as: toilet water, shower, washing machine, dishwasher, etc…
Storm Sewer (Storm Drain)
Is the grate in the street at the curb that collects rainwater. It is very important not to throw trash and / or chemicals down the storm drain as they discharge directly into our creeks and streams.
In Hamilton, the sanitary sewer and the storm drain systems are not combined.
