We lead by example. Our progressive Stormwater Management program serves as a model in eliminating non-point source pollution. Our goals are to maintain stormwater infrastructure, control flooding and preserve water quality now and for future generations. Non-point source pollution is a major contributor to pollution of surface water.
Watershed protection is the best, long-range solution to guarantee quality of drinking water.
Most people are unaware that rainwater running off of lawns, streets and parking lots ultimately flows back into our lakes and rivers. The challenge remains how to balance the inevitable results of development in our watershed while maintaining the highest water quality standards.
