Stormwater Policies
About the Policy
The purpose of the Existing Residential Stormwater Management Policy is to provide storage volume to offset the increase in stormwater runoff volume that results from improvements that increase impervious coverage of a residential property. The proposed policy will no longer allow the direct connection of sump pumps and downspouts to the storm sewer (unless determined necessary to avoid structural damage to the home or adjacent homes).

About the Policy
The purpose of the Residential Stormwater Management Incentive Policy is to encourage property owners who are proposing redevelopment/additional impervious improvements to provide additional stormwater management above the required storage volume, calculated using the New Home and Existing Home Stormwater Management policies.
This policy also applies to existing homeowners who are not increasing impervious area but want to add stormwater management systems to assist with existing drainage issues or to simply incorporate best stormwater management practices.

About the Program
The Storm Sewer Extension Program Policy is an updated process which allows the city to review all direct storm sewer connection requests inside and outside the storm sewer extension program. This policy provides flexibility and financial incentives to encourage and implement best management practices and reduce direct connections to the City storm sewer.
