Catch basins are typically found at street corners and are a common part of landscape drainage systems. Catch basins are drainage systems that collect water from the streets, driveways, and other surfaces and direct it into a storm drainage system.
Proper care and maintenance are important to ensure areas do not flood during heavy rains, such as roadways and parking lots. Material can build up in drainage lines connected to the basin, which prevents rainwater from flowing to outflow retention areas.
