Does American drain have this feature?

A lot of European cities still combine their sewage and stormwater in the same pipes. That’s why they need all these fancy little sediment buckets and traps. They’re trying to stop solid waste from clogging a system that’s already carrying shit. Meanwhile, most American cities separated storm and sanitary sewers decades ago. We use bigger pipes with deep sumps that don’t require someone to come empty a bucket every couple of weeks.

I’ve never seen flooded streets in America lol

Tony Stark go don thief that drain cover go sell am as scrap to steel mills at Ikorodu 😂

@wizdo2496 Lmao

As he’s clearing a flood. American drainage systems have large enough pipes to handle some debris without clogging.

No. In the extremely rainy Pacific Northwest, a tiny clog-prone storm drain like that would never pass muster.

Except the fucking council never clean the buckets out so our streets still flood and then they push the "climate change" bullshit.

This is idiotic. European pipes are tiny and cant handle even small debris. Americans use coatser grates because out storm drain pipes are massive and cant handle even handle much larger debris. Both system will back up when clogged. You know this dope has never been to America

In the pacific northwest, our drains don't clog in the drain part. They clog when the grate gets covered with leaves or other debris.

My neighborhood never floods. Quit bashing US.

My neighbourhood never floods after 30 minutes of rain.

This is the most revolting AI written script I’ve ever heard

American street drain can house a Pennywise clown so it's never clogged.

If streets get flooded in the US, it's not because the drain is clogged but because there is too much water for the system to handle... think like tropical-storm-level water... but yes.. brilliant idea, let's make a drain that, during a tropical storm, you have to dump a bucket.

The street is flooded in this video..

No gloves is crazy

People think drain strainers don’t exist in the US?

No that's a lie that city planning and design not contract incompetence

Not sure. You go and check them out

ours look like this and the pipe underground is at least a couple feet across

its also because theres way more low elevation or hill surrounded towns in america

We probably do, but will probably get fined if we try to fix ANYTHING to make our lives more convenient 😂😭😭

drainage that used to drain water vs drainage that used to drain people's tax

Feature? How the f'k is a self-clogging drain a FEATURE?!?

Lols 😂

Nairobi City under management of Sakaja should see this and be guided not to throw blame to the city resident and improve on our City drainage

The europooran mind cannot comprehend that we bury 2ft diameter pipe for our storm drainage system

Nice, solved climate change

It’s not the contractor. It’s the public municipality that provides the specifications of what they want. And it’s 100% budget driven. Streets and roads in the US are paid for and maintained by public departs funded by tax dollars.

Surgical percussion… chart couldn’t write it better itself

@mybmc

Storm drains in the US actually just use large sediment traps that the city will go clean out every once and again. You’re not that special

@GBAChiefComm @BBMPSWMSplComm @CMofKarnataka @bwssbchairman

Nah. Ours work
