HomeMy WebLinkAboutFeburary 2023 Utility InsertIowa City is required to 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.
