Managing stormwater and surface water protects and <br /> improves the quality of our lakes, streams, and rivers. It also helps to control flooding. <br /> The formal stormwater system consists of catch basins, pipes, ditches and detention ponds. Wetlands and other <br /> natural systems play an important role in effective stormwater management and further analysis of these systems <br /> is outlined in Chapter 11: Environmental Resources. <br /> With a lack of Watershed Districts or Water Management Organizations within the County, the City has been <br /> utilizing the existing Stormwater Ordinance and the existing Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) <br /> for water management issues. The City completed an update of the SWPPP and developed a Surface Water <br /> Management Plan in November of 2013. The implementation plan within the new document should be followed <br /> for purposes of future planning related to stormwater management. <br /> Chapter 8: Utilities / 93 <br />
