Delhi India is suffering from the same problem - Maybe cityhall can contact them for a shared solution !

You're right. Oh, and I just so happen to live on a corner. The whole situation really "stinks".

It is impossible to stand on a corner here and wait for the traffic to allow you to cross. Better to be hit by a car than die of strangulation from the noxious miasma from the corner storm drain/sewers. How folks live in corner houses, i don't know. All the downtown smells like a nasty outhouse. Some "goldcoast"!

I believe the storm sewers have water filled traps like any other drain system to keep odors from escaping. If that trap is cracked and leaking, you no longer have a seal. But when the city was rebuilding every corner with new cuts and drains, I asked a crew if they were rebuilding the leaking traps, and got a stare. So I don't really know.

Combined Storm water and sewage. Everything runs through the same pipe. Which makes for hellish sewer backup during torrential downpour for some of us.

Why is that every other city I've been to has relatively odor-free storm sewers on the streets. The ones in JC smell like raw sewage. What's the deal with that?
