What part of the stormwater system does the City maintain?

Public Works maintains the catch basins and culverts that are in a City street. It also maintains those stormwater ponds that are owned by the City of Port Orchard. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their own property, to include foot drains, roof drains, and residential basins. If a homeowners association or group of neighbors owns the stormwater pond and private roads, they have to maintain the pond and stormwater system in the road.
