I'm kind of curious about this now. The closest tag in use might be manhole=drain, though to me manhole is what it sounds like, a way for maintenance personnel to climb down a hole to access pipes and equipment. Oftentimes storm drains don't have true manholes but just a grate that can be removed to clean the storm drain out (as in the above picture). Of course, this wouldn't be the worse logical inconsistency in our tagging scheme. :) One proposal [1] suggests using man_made=storm_drain "for storm drain in the street", though it has no uses according to Taginfo.
