About

The Bureau of Stormwater works to manage, maintain, and modernize an efficient municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). Our goal is to improve the water quality of stormwater runoff and streams through implementation of Best Management Practices as required by state and federal regulatory requirements.  We strive to protect our neighborhoods from flooding, and partner with the community to build the foundation for a safe and sustainable City.
