The purpose of the Stormwater Utility is to protect the natural environment from the impacts of stormwater runoff by properly maintaining the City stormwater system and implementing the City’s stormwater management plan.  For information regarding billing, forms, etc. please see the Utilities Clerk page.

Please take the City’s stormwater survey by July 24th to help us in our stormwater education efforts. The survey is only 15 questions and should take less than 10 minutes. https://kwiksurveys.com/s/16mqWfZ3

Always recycle used motor oil. Dispose of household hazardous water properly.
Use natural fertilizers and pest control.
Use commercial car washes connected to a sanitary sewer and conserve water by recycling rinse water.
