How is stormwater runoff a problem?
All developed properties in a community that have manmade surfaces and structures contribute stormwater runoff to the City drainage system and, in some cases, to flooding problems. In addition to potential flooding problems, the stormwater runoff washes chemicals, trash and other pollution into the drainage system and our local creeks. Old and damaged pipe systems have created a need for the City to develop and implement a more comprehensive stormwater management program to address drainage system maintenance issues as well as other high priority projects.
