Stormwater Management

LID is an innovative approach to land development that mimics the natural movement of water in order to manage stormwater (rainwater and urban runoff) close to where the rain falls.

Surface water management is the process of collecting, monitoring and treating surface water to help prevent flooding and pollution.

The City has developed a Surface Water Quality Program (SWQP) that samples surface water locations monthly, throughout the City’s waterways.

A stormwater management pond is a man-made infrastructure built to gather rainfall and surface water runoff.
