Halifax Water Catchbasin

Halifax Water Catchbasins (also known as storm drains) are an important part of drainage infrastructure. Usually located within a curb and a vital part of flood control, catchbasins allow water to quickly drain from the streets. If these basins get clogged by trash, leaves, or other debris - even snow and ice - flooding may result or other dangerous conditions may occur. Most catchbasins in Halifax Municipality are connected to the stormwater system, which may drain directly into area waterways. Others connect to the combined collection system (wastewater + stormwater) and if clogged, may cause overflow events. Help keep catchbasins clear by not tossing garbage into the catchbasin. If you find debris over a catchbasin, please clear it safely or report it to HRM by calling 311. Never dump liquids, soapy water, paint, used motor oil or other hazardous material or chemicals into these storm drains. “Only rain in the storm drain” If you see a catchbasin that appears to be damaged or tampered with (i.e. missing the grate), please report it to Halifax Water by calling 902-420-9287 (902-H2O-WATR). If you see someone dumping material into the catchbasin, please email [e-mail]. METADATA哈利法克斯水务雨水集水井（Catchbasins，亦称雨水篦子storm drains）是排水基础设施的核心组成部分。此类设施通常设于路缘石区域，是防洪减灾的关键环节，可快速疏导路面积水。若这些集水井被垃圾、落叶或其他杂物——甚至积雪与积冰——堵塞，便可能引发内涝或其他危险状况。哈利法克斯市的绝大多数集水井均接入雨水管网，可直接将积水排放至周边水域；另有部分接入合流制收集系统（生活污水+雨水），若发生堵塞则可能导致溢流事件。请勿向雨水集水井丢弃垃圾，以维持其通畅。若发现集水井堆积杂物，请安全清理或拨打311向哈利法克斯区域市政局（Halifax Regional Municipality，简称HRM）报备。严禁向此类雨水管道倾倒液体、肥皂水、油漆、废机油或其他危险物料与化学品，谨记“仅容雨水排入雨水篦子”。若发现集水井受损或遭破坏（如格栅缺失），请拨打902-420-9287（902-H2O-WATR）向哈利法克斯水务部门报备。若目睹有人向集水井倾倒物料，请致信[e-mail]。元数据
