Catch pit / Catch basin
I have provided both the UK and US versions here. However, the terms are so similar they probably would not cause confusion between US and UK speakers anyway.
"World English Dictionary
CATCH PIT
— n
US and Canadian name: catch basin a pit in a drainage system in which matter that might otherwise block a sewer is collected so that it may periodically be removed."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/catch pit
"World English Dictionary
CATCH BASIN
— n
( US ), ( Canadian ) Also called (in Britain and certain other countries): catch pit a pit in a drainage system in which matter that might otherwise block a sewer is collected so that it may periodically be removed."
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/catch BASIN
"World English Dictionary
CATCH PIT
— n
US and Canadian name: catch basin a pit in a drainage system in which matter that might otherwise block a sewer is collected so that it may periodically be removed."

"World English Dictionary
CATCH BASIN
— n

Example sentence:
