Maintaining Stormwater Drains and Facilities

​Storm drains and other stormwater facilities need to be regularly maintained in order to adequately manage stormwater from your site. Storm drains and other facilities accumulate sediment and debris that must be removed periodically to prevent clogging of pipes and discharge of sediments and pollutants to our waterways.
