What are Sumps and Sedimentation Maintenance Holes?
A sump maintenance hole (sump) is a large, concrete cylinder installed under a street that temporarily holds stormwater while slowly releasing it into the ground. The sump is connected to a storm drain and a separate tank, called a sedimentation maintenance hole, that filters out garbage and pollutants.
For more information about sump maintenance holes and other ways in which BES manages stormwater, visit portland.gov/bes/manage-stormwater.
This project will help protect the health of the Willamette River Watershed.
