About Stormwater Management

Stormwater is rainwater and melted snow that runs off roofs, driveways, parking lots and other hard surfaces. Hard surfaces prevent stormwater from naturally soaking into the ground. Instead, stormwater builds up on the surface and flows into the City’s stormwater management system and then drains into our rivers and streams. Unmanaged stormwater can lead to flooding, river erosion and can carry pollutants and litter into the environment – damaging both the built and natural environment.
