The Difference Between "Sewers" and "Storm Drains" in Panama City
(Panama-Guide ) By DON WINNER for Panama-Guide.com - Many people don't understand the difference between sewers and storm drains in Panama City, and here's why. In fact there are two drainage systems, one that's supposed to handle all of the "black" water and human waste, and another that's supposed to only handle rain runoff from the streets. However, many times the little rivers and drainage streams that run through the middle of the city smell like open sewer pits, so people often make the mistaken assumption that those streams are either the primary sewage system, or that in fact there is no sewage system in Panama City and all of the human waste just goes straight into the Bay of Panama.
