Stormwater Management
Stormwater management is essential in keeping our homes from flooding during storm events and to protect the environment in which we live.

We all live within a watershed, which means the stormwater from our property eventually drains into the Red River. If the stormwater runoff from our streets and property contains pollutants, then those pollutants also are carried to the river. Those pollutants can be detrimental to use of the river for recreation, aquatic life and our use of the water for drinking.

If stormwater is not anticipated and managed, we are at risk of flooded streets and basements during heavy rainfalls.

The purpose of this page (and the links to other sites) is to provide an educational opportunity for our citizens to be good stewards of our water resources. It highlights efforts by your city government in stormwater management and provides a resource for compliance with Federal and State laws.
