Stormwater Management

The Stormwater Division, which is managed by the Public Works, aims to prevent urban pollutants from entering our rivers and streams, as storm drain water flows directly into waterways without treatment. This division helps the community set priorities for stormwater management by considering physical, environmental, and socio-economic factors. The goal is to develop and implement effective strategies to address these priorities, using the resources allocated by the community.

What a Resident Can Do To Protect Water Quality

Send nothing to the storm drain but rain by following these simple tips;

  • Clean up after your pet and don't let your pet's mess go into the drain.
  • Wash your vehicle at a commercial car wash that treats or recycles its wastewater.
  • Wash your car in your yard so the water soaks into the ground, and not the drain.
  • Repair automotive leaks and legally dispose of used auto fluids.
  • Don't use pesticides and fertilizers, or use sparingly and away from the drain.
  • Monitor your lawn watering requirements, please don't over-water.
