San Francisco Wasterwater Enterprise Mosquito Abatement Storm Drain Program

Since the Emergency Public Health Declaration of 2005 for West Nile Virus, the SF WastewaterEnterprise Mosquito Storm Drain Program has been in effect. The program includes monitoring and treating storm drains to prevent the emergence of adult mosquitoes.

As part of the City and County of San Francisco’s Green Purchasing efforts, the Mosquito Abatement Courier Team treats the citywide combined sewer system storm drains throughout San Francisco streets to prevent mosquitoes and protect the health of residents and visitors.

The work is human-powered to reduce our footprint in the atmosphere and our space here on the ground. The treatments made in the city’s storm drains are target specific and reduced-risk to the team, the community, and the Bay.

Report Unserviced Storm Drains

The Mosquito Abatement Courier Team takes pride in the amount of area they are able to cover each round. Our riders and walkers are able to inspect hundreds of storm drains daily, however, we are human and we may overlook a drain. We do not want to leave any storm drain un-inspected, so we would love your help in identifying these drains.

If you have reason to believe a storm drain in your area was not inspected please fill out the unserviced storm drain form.
