What is Stormwater?
When it rains, water washes over roofs, streets, driveways, sidewalks, parking lots, and land surfaces.
Along the way, it can pick up a variety of pollutants, such as oil, pesticides, metals, chemicals, and soil. This polluted stormwater drains into the storm system that eventually discharges into Slaters Creek. The pollutants can endanger the water quality of our waterways, making them unhealthy for people, fish, and wildlife.
During rain events, the volume and speed of the runoff can cause flooding and erosion, destroy natural habitat, and contribute to the impairment of Slaters Creek.
The City spends a significant amount of time and resources on a variety of programs and public involvement initiatives that work with citizens, businesses, and property owners to increase public awareness of stormwater issues and promote private stormwater management efforts.
