Clearing all those storm drains -- 25,000 of them -- has always been a challenge for the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission.
"We have 2,500 volunteers who have already volunteered to take on about 3,800 of those different drains," outlined Dennis Herrera who heads the SFPUC.
That agency wants more residents to go online to take the plunge and commit to adopting one of those drains."We have David Lang here who is our community partner who has adopted eight drains on his very own to take responsibility for," said Herrera during a press conference earlier in the week."With that many drains, that's the least we can do. If you're walking the streets, can you not pick up trash? You can't always wait for someone else to do it," said Lang.
He makes sure one particular drain is free and clear in time for neighborhood students to cross the intersection.
