No water can infiltrate if ToSoilStore in SUEWS_WithinGridWaterDist.txt is set to 0. This is not clear in the manual and it affects movement of surface water before any infiltration takes place, it seems
To reproduce you can use the SampleData and set ToSoilStore = 0 for all pervious land cover classes
What is confusing is the timing of things. For each iteration it seems to be that:
It rains
Water moves between LC-classes
Then infiltration happens
Suggested solution is to remove column from SUEWS_WithinGridWaterDist.txt and let infiltration happens BEFORE movement of water.
