The County of Orange has over 145 miles of underground storm drain facilities. OC Operations & Maintenance is responsible for inspection, maintenance and repair of the storm drain system in the public right-of-way and in drainage easements. This includes clearing blocked drains, removing debris from storm drain structures, and cleaning and repairing damaged drainpipes.
Storm drains are designed to handle normal water flow, but occasionally during heavy rain, flooding will occur. Our goal is to limit the number of flooding incidents by keeping the drains clear with regular maintenance and cleaning.
To report a storm drain problem, please submit a service request or contact the OC Operations & Maintenance Office at (714) 955-0200.
