Stormwater
Stormwater Management Utility plans, designs, constructs, maintains, administers all City Stormwater conveyances and facilities, and the regulations for its control, as well as establishes standards for design and construction.
The City has a comprehensive plan to keep the rivers and streams in LO clean and healthy, known as the Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). We are currently revising the SWMP and the Monitoring Plan. Comments were received from the public during a 30-day period. The documents will be finalized in December. Learn more to review the plans.
The City’s Stormwater Management is the lead program in the City’s efforts to protect water quality. Stormwater Management also provides technical expertise and guidance to all City departments to ensure implementation and compliance with the NPDES Permit, TMDL Water Quality Management Plans, and other stormwater related issues.
Public Works Maintenance is responsible for the day to day operation of the stormwater utility. These services include catch basin maintenance, street sweeping, stormwater facility maintenance and emergency utility services.
