Surface storm drains, excluding the trunk system carrying runoff from the San
Bruno Mountain catchment basins, shall be designed to accommodate at least a
10-year storm without surcharging the pipes. At low points, where overflow
would result in property damage, the drainage facilities shall be designed to

drainage easement, accepted by the City Council, shall be owned and maintained
by the City. The minimum pipe size within the public right-of-way or City
easements shall be 12” diameter. Where flow velocity within the pipe is
anticipated to exceed 11 fps, when flowing half full under gravity flow conditions,
at least two inches of cover over the reinforcing steel in the concrete pipes shall
