What is a storm or catch basin?
A storm or catch basin is a pipe, conduit or open channel that carries runoff from storms, surface drainage, and street wash. Storm or catch basins do not convey domestic or commercial wastes. In the town of Brunswick, the Public Works Department (207-725-6654) is responsible for the storm or catch basins that are situated on public roads or public property. For the most part, catch basins are not connected to the sanitary sewer system.
