Stormwater management programs reduce the risk of flooding, prevent erosion, and
protect water quality. Development within the City’s floodplains and floodways is
managed by Public Works in accordance with federal and state laws and regulations.
Engineering administers the Municipal Separate Service Stormwater System (MS4)
permit and ensures compliance with all regulations governing clean water and
stormwater runoff. Environmental compliance efforts include the citywide Integrated
Mosquito Management Program to mitigate public health risks. Regular inspections of
inlets and outfalls reduce the likelihood of hazardous driving conditions during rain
events. The maintenance and inspection of storm drainage facilities also reduces the
negative impact of the quantity of rainwater on
surrounding properties, roadway integrity, and
stormwater infrastructure. Monitoring the quality of
our runoff for pollutants protects local water sources
in addition to animal and human life.
