Environment: 2025 annual maintenance of the rainwater network

The Collectivité de Saint-Martin informs the population of the start of the annual campaign to maintain rainwater networks throughout the territory. Cleaning is carried out by sector.

Since February 10, 2025, the service provider mandated by the Collectivité de Saint-Martin has been working in the Sandy-Ground – Baie Nettle sector, with planned interventions in all streets with a functional stormwater network:

- Sandy Ground Street

- Lady Fish Street

- Nettle Bay Street

Work in this sector will be completed on March 7, 2025.

The interview will then continue in the Concordia district, with a detailed schedule to be communicated shortly. The dates of intervention in the other sectors will be disseminated as the work progresses.

The Collectivité reminds that the rainwater network is designed only for the evacuation of rainwater. No material other than water should be discharged into it (domestic wastewater, oils, chemical products, etc., are prohibited). Indeed, these networks do not benefit from any treatment and discharge this waste directly into the sea.

To preserve the coastline and avoid pollution of our environment and our beaches, residents must ensure that they respect this instruction and ensure that only rainwater uses these pipes.

The Collectivité thanks the residents for their eco-citizen gesture and their collaboration on this operation essential to the management of rainwater!
