Why is storm water management important?
Good storm water management benefits citizens and the community by reducing potential flood hazards and protecting area waterways. Flood control and water quality best management practices are required on new developments. The City’s storm water managent program also includes construction of storm water improvement projects to address flooding and enhance water quality as well as public education, investigation of pollution, and other activities which the City is required to implement under its federally-mandated storm water permit.
