Yes, the gutters are actually storm water runoff and you are not supposed to put chemically treated water into a stormwater runoff.
* General definition of stormwater: Stormwater is the water produced from precipitation during a storm that can be measured in a downstream river, stream, pipe, etc. shortly after the precipitation has occurred. * Regulatory definition of stormwater: Stormwater is water that passes through an engineered structure (e.g. pipe or gutter). * Hydrologic definition of stormwater: Stormwater is water produced from precipitation during a storm that reaches a stream channel rapidly and causes an increase in water discharge of the stream. The path of transport may be natural or manmade.
Stormwater is caused by heavy rains and flooding rivers, as well as waterlogged land. Informal settlements, by their very nature, do not have infrastructure to deal with stormwater.
Downstream erosion and pollutant transport are two effects of inadequate stormwater management.

A stormwater system is a network of drains, pipes, ditches, and other structures designed to manage and control the flow of rainwater runoff. It is used to prevent flooding, erosion, and water pollution by directing stormwater away from developed areas and into appropriate drainage systems or natural water bodies.
Stormwater is a meteorological term for the water created from precipitation, particularly rain. This term can also be used to refer to snow when it melts.
