We build water treatment and wastewater treatment plants, no way is the city going pay to treat rainwater. And it will quickly overwhelm a plant. We have built them for Topeka, Tulsa, Wichita, Oklahoma City, Salina, Hutchinson, Abilene, Manhattan, Lawrence, and hundreds of other cities. You just can't send rainwater down the sewer lines - first they are not big enough, and the run off from a city with huge areas cover by buildings and pavement is tremendous - much more than a simple rain on open pasture or worked ground. Every single rain event would result in a huge release of water and sewage - not to mention the fact that the plants that use microbes to break down sewage would end up with a plant that wouldn't work.
The City of Topeka has an issue with their lines breaking - the plant near Shunga Creek seems to keep breaking pipes and releasing sewage into the creek that flows to the Kansas River. Every time it breaks they issue a warning to stay way from the Creek and for God's sake don't go into the water. They don't issue that warning every time it rains.
As for a mayor not knowing his infrastructure - a guy can own a home and not know where his water lines and sewer lines are. The head of the utilities department knows the infrastructure - the mayor knows when the Farmer's Market opens.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
