Stormwater Utility/MS4 Permit

The City is responsible for maintaining our separate sewer system and MS4 Permit.  The MS4 Permit is comprised of six core areas:

  • Public education and outreach on stormwater impacts
  • Public involvement/participation
  • Illicit discharge detection and elimination
  • Construction site stormwater runoff control
  • Post-construction stormwater management in new development and redevelopment
  • Pollution prevention/good housekeeping for municipal operations

The following documents are available for further knowledge regarding the MS4 Permit.
