Understanding the Stormwater System
Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes, or rather, underground? There’ s a lot happening beneath our feet that keeps Jefferson Hills running smoothly, especially when it rains! Our stormwater system is a vital but often overlooked part of the Borough’ s infrastructure. It’ s made up of inlets, pipes, catch basins, culverts, and outfalls that collect and move rainwater away from our streets, parking lots, and yards. This system helps reduce flooding, prevents erosion, and protects local waterways from pollution.
When it rains, stormwater flows across driveways, sidewalks, and lawns, picking up things along the way such as dirt, leaves, litter, oil, fertilizers, and pet waste. This water drains into the storm inlets you see along the road, travels through underground pipes, and eventually empties into nearby creeks and streams. Unlike wastewater, stormwater is not treated, which means whatever flows into a storm drain can also end up in natural waterways.
That’ s why small, everyday actions make a big difference in protecting this system and keeping waterways clean: n Never dump anything down a storm drain. n Clean up after your pets. n Use fertilizers and lawn chemicals sparingly. n Dispose of motor oil and household waste properly. n Help keep leaves and debris away from storm drains.
The Borough of Jefferson Hills actively maintains this underground network year-round. Public Works crews regularly inspect and clean inlets, repair damaged pipes, and ensure that outfalls are functioning properly. These efforts help manage heavy rainfall, prevent costly flooding, and protect the environment for everyone who lives, works, and plays in our community.
So, the next time it rains, remember, there’ s a whole system working hard below the surface. It’ s one of the many things residents don’ t see but rely on every day!
