Here is the water collecting area--before it gushes down the drain.
My shed is just to the left--you can see the corner.....

In heavy rains--the water from all the properties to the left, comes down to this drain in a "river".
The properties to the right--have another drain further down.

You know something? These drains, scattered all through the neighborhood,
have been like underground highways for all kinds of critters. My cats (when I had them) included.
I have seen a raccoon (twice in 42 yrs.) come out of there and ONE brown rat (once).

Not too bad!
