Well when you call part of your town “the flats” because it is the only flat road in the entire town, then water flows naturally down the streets. Storm grates are placed where the water naturally flows toCamber of the road forms the GUTTER/DRAIN
"Roads are not flat but are designed and constructed to assist in the drainage of water. This is known as a camber. The surface is angled to stop rain water and snow melt gathering into puddles."
