Q: What do storm drains do?
A: Storm drains and culverts allow rain water to drain quickly off of roads and yards, and ultimately, into Mobile Bay. 

Q: How can I protect city storm drains? 
A: Leaves and debris should never be placed in or near a storm drain, since rain events can cause debris to wash into the drain, clogging it and contributing to flooding.  Additionally, chemicals should never be poured or rinsed into a storm drain.  Remember "Drains to Bay"...whatever goes in our storm drains, eventually ends up in the Bay.

Q: To whom do I report damaged storm drains?
A: A crushed storm drain is the financial responsibility of the party that damaged it.  Please report builder or construction violations or damage to the City of Fairhope Building Department 990-0153.  The city will repair a damaged storm drain and bill the party responsible for the damage.

Q: Does the city have a mow ordinance?
A: The city does not mandate that residents mow their lawn, this is the responsibility of the homeowners or neighborhood association.
