     The Stormwater Administration Division is responsible for providing adequate collection and transportation of stormwater with the least
     amount of damage to real or personal property. This is accomplished by maintaining the drainage channels and the stormwater
     collection system through debris removal and erosion control throughout the City. The Division is also pro-active in the treatment of
     standing water to combat mosquitoes and rodent control in the drainage channels and at City facilities. Division staff members oversee
     the multiple outreach programs offered to residents and visitors of the City.
