This is an unfortunate situation in many areas. Combining storm water and sewer water in many instances will overload the ability to handle that volume and the result is overflow into the river or lake. Nationally, there is a "Municipal storm sewer separation system (MS4) requirement to remedy that situation. As you would expect, this is not something that many places can fix quickly or at reasonable expense.
