Westside Downspout
Disconnect Pilot
The Westside Downspout Disconnect Pilot
builds-on the 2017 Initiative and residential
stormwater grant program proposed as
part of the Collection System Capital
Improvement Strategy. Work under this
Initiative will develop a program framework
and implementation recommendation for a
downspout disconnection program on the
westside of the City. This program will engage
with homeowners to implement stormwater
management practices, such as rain gardens
and cisterns, on their property. Outcomes
for 2018 include developing a work plan for
program implementation and selecting a pilot
block/neighborhood to start the program. This
Initiative embodies several of OneWaterSF’s
principles including promoting ecosystem
health, adapting to future changes, and
providing multiple benefits.
