Neighborhood Improvement Projects offered through the City of South Bend's Division of Engineering:
- Downspout Disconnect Program
Some older homes have downspouts that drain rainwater from gutters into the ground, which goes through the combined sewers. On heavy rain days, these combined sewers cause overflows, called CSOs. To help protect the environment and local waterways, the City of South Bend offers a free annual summer program to disconnect those downspouts, cap the drainway, and add an extension to the downspout so the water drains into your yard instead of the combined sewer. Work on this project is performed during the summer months only. Please click on the above link for more information.
