What is stormwater and how is stormwater currently managed in Normal?
Stormwater includes rainfall, snow melt, and all other forms of precipitation that flows off of driveways, parking lots, roofs and other hard surfaces into the local drainage system. The drainage system includes sewers, ditches, culverts, streams and roadside swales that carry stormwater away from roads and private property. Maintenance on the drainage system includes work on the sewers themselves as well as general upkeep on creeks, streams, ditches, culverts and other components of the drainage system.
