Required stormwater drainage system maintenance
Not sure of what kind of stormwater system maintenance will be expected of you?
Here are some abridged requirements Connecticut Stormwater Authority universally sees with most municipalities:

System and components should be inspected and serviced a minimum twice a year, once just before Winter and once during Spring cleanup.
If present, maintenance should include the servicing of the following:
- Catch basins & drainage inlets
