Storm Water Management
Storm Water Runoff
Storm water runoff occurs when rain or melted snow flows over the ground. Impervious surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and streets prevent storm water runoff from naturally soaking into the ground.
"Only Rain Down the Drain"
Storm drains collect rain water and snow melt. Anything that enters a storm sewer is discharged untreated into bodies of water we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. Only rain should go into storm drains, and not the following:
- Fertilizers
- Oil
- Pet waste
- Trash
- Or other pollutants
City Storm Water Management
The City provides services to facilitate storm water flow:
- Catch basin repair
- Ditch line maintenance (in the right-of-way)
- Replacement and installation of deteriorated residential driveway pipe
- Street sweeping to prevent infiltration
