Clean water for everyone! Unlike the city's sewer system, the storm water conveyance system (streets, sidewalk, gutters, etc.) conveys surface water runoff from rain, irrigation, and outdoor water use directly to our waterways without treatment. To reduce pollutants from being transported by this runoff, the city asks that all residents, businesses, city facilities, developers, and land owners do their part in preventing water pollution by applying best management practices (BMPs).

To comply with state and federal water quality regulations, the city requires residents, businesses, construction sites, and visitors to implement a set of minimum BMPs. These requirements are outlined within the city's Guidelines for Surface Water Pollution Prevention.
