"Storm water": The rainfall that flows over yards, streets, alleys, parking lots, farms and buildings and enters the storm drain system.
"Storm water drainage system": a system of streets, roads, storm drains, curbs, gutters, ditches, creeks, lakes and rivers that are designed or used exclusively to collect and transport storm water. It’s a network of structures, channels and underground pipes that carry storm water (rain water) to ponds, lakes, streams and rivers. The network consists of both public and private systems. It's an integral part of the storm water management system in the county that is designed to control the quantity, quality, timing, and distribution of storm runoff.It's not a part of the wastewater (sanitary) sewer system. Storm water does not flow to a treatment plant.
"Street Lighting": Street lighting is one of the major obligatory functions of municipal authorities. The tremendous increase in vehicular traffic; changes in life styles and a network of internal road systems have increased the movement of city population, thereby increasing demand for efficient & improved streetlight management. The First state Finance Commission had considered streetlight as an essential service which has to confirm to some standards.
