The City's Storm Drainage System allows for efficient removal
of stormwater and snow melt from streets and properties. The City has Engineering Projects and
Storm Water Quality Program
The Storm Drainage System does not include any treatment system. So, any litter, sediment or pollution on the ground has a potential of getting washed into the storm drain and into the river. Illegal discharges to the storm drainage system are a serious problem. |

Illegal and Potential DischargesThe storm drainage system is designed to accept only storm water and snow melt. But, pollution has the ability to enter storm drains, too. The Municipal Code chapter 14.26 details the prohibited substances that cannot enter the storm drainage system. An Illegal Discharge is any prohibited substance that leaves the property. A Potential Discharge is any prohibited substance that has a potential to become an illegal discharge. For example, a leaking dumpster or a bucket of motor oil left in a parking lot. |
