manage stormwater
When it rains in Iowa City, water passes over roofs, streets, parking lots and other land
surfaces picking up pollutants such as oil, chemicals, pesticides and eroded soil along
the way. Any pollutant that is directed into the stormwater drainage system bypasses
any treatment and flows directly into our waterways and to those downstream from us.
This creates hazards for people, wildlife, and the environment. Protecting stormwater
quality keeps our waterways healthy and preserves wildlife habitat.
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is a federal program
that regulates stormwater discharge into waterways. To comply with the federal
requirements, the City of Iowa City received a permit to discharge stormwater and
develop programs to reduce the discharge of pollutants carried by stormwater into
our local waterways.

Be a good neighbor, clear your sidewalks
Iowa City’s snow ordinance requires public sidewalks to be cleared within 24-hours of a one-inch or greater snowfall, or after
any accumulation of ice has ended. The entire width of sidewalks abutting your property must be cleared down to the concrete.
Violators of the ordinance may be charged a $100 administrative fee plus costs to hire an outside contractor for removal. RemindersKeep Iowa City accessible to all
this winter — especially children
headed to school, commuters,
and those with limited mobility.
