Stormwater
News & Announcements
The City has implemented a program which includes inspecting commercial and industrial properties/businesses to help prevent pollutant discharges into our local rivers and streams.
The City is committed to maintaining water quality through multiple programs required by Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ).
As leaves fall, storm drains can get blocked by debris, leading to localized flooding. These drains are vital for keeping streets and sidewalks clear of excess rainwater as well as maintaining stormwater quality standards. Simply clearing leaves and debris from the surface of catch basins near your property with a broom or rake can keep the drainage system functioning well.
The City has a limited number of free drop boxes available to support neighborhood clean-up events through a contract agreement with Republic Services. Neighborhoods can apply for a free drop box to help collect neighborhood leaves.
Helpful stormwater information relevant to industrial and commercial properties
It is against the law to allow anything other than rain water to enter the stormwater drainage system.
Lake Oswego is committed to protecting the environment of the city and the surrounding area through its Stormwater Management Utility. In an effort to further protect our water sources, Erosion Control Permits are required for construction projects. Read on to learn more.
