Can I change how stormwater flows across my property?
Yes as long at the stormwater enters and leaves your property at the same locations as it does naturally. Also you cannot unreasonably increase the flow of the stormwater. • Can I put in a private structure and storm sewer pipe to collect the storm water (there is no City storm sewer in the area)? Yes as long as the storm water enters and leaves your property at the same locations as it does naturally (by gravity), you are not unreasonably increasing the flow of the storm water, and you are not blocking the flow of water entering your property. If you install a storm water system through your property, it would be private and would be owned and maintained by the property owner. A grading and drainage permit may be necessary, please contact the Public Works Department at 309-732-2200. • Can I extend the City’s storm sewer or culvert across my property? No. The City wouldn’t gain any value by extending the pipe, but the City would incur additional maintenance costs for the additional pip
