It looks like not all City and County storm drains are showing up on the map for me to adopt. Why is that?

While the City and County do have an extensive digital inventory of storm drains and over 10,000 have been mapped already, we are currently reviewing that inventory and once a drain has been verified by staff, it will be made visible on the Adopt-A-Drain website.  SC DOT owns many of the storm drains in the region and at this time has chosen to opt out of participating in the Adopt a Drain program.

We added a reporting feature for missing drains to the web portal, so now anyone can easily report a missing drain or request one be added to the program.
