Stormwater Facts

Stormwater is considered precipitation from rainfall or snowmelt that flows across the ground, typically pavement like sidewalks, driveways, and roads. This means that the water is not absorbed into those surfaces and can cause drainage and flooding issues. Stormwater can be collected in structures like culverts, ditches, and sewers to divert and reuse the water elsewhere.
