Stormwater Smart Credits
Dealing with stormwater takes the entire community. While the city is doing it's part to be Stormwater Smart, residents and commercial properties also play a critical role. Impervious surfaces, such as parking lots, driveways, roofs and patios, don't absorb water. Instead, they can add pollutants to storm runoff as well as move that water into storm drains, instead of the soil. By taking advantage the stormwater credits program, property owners can help protect our environment while also saving money.
