No Drain on Your Time

January 15, 2023 by Heather World

What takes ten minutes and potentially saves you and your neighbors thousands of dollars? Adopt a Drain, San Francisco’s program that charges volunteers with clearing storm drains so they won’t clog and flood!

Perks beyond earning the good will of your neighbors:

  • you get to name your drain, and the name shows up on the city’s map of drains
  • drain cleaning trainings
  • free tools and supplies
  • the satisfaction of seeing the water swirl down the drain instead of your time and money

Glen Park has some Drains in Need, so please sign up now!

A huge thank you to @glenparkhistorysf Evelyn Rose, SF Planning, and SF Board of Supervisors President @rafaelmandelmand8 for a great talk on Glen Park history and SF Survey.

“SF Survey is a multi-year program by the Planning Department to identify and document places and resources of cultural historical, and architectural importance to San Francisco’s diverse communities.”

Stop in at the Glen Park Branch Library and check out photos of Glen Park Storefronts/buildings that have historical value!
