Keeping Our Waterways Clean

The Streets and Stormwater Division has installed various stormwater structures to reduce debris and nutrients entering waterways, including baffle boxes, inlet baskets, alum treatment and a bar screen system.

Shoreline plantings have also reduced pollutants entering waterways. Additionally, as part of a vigorous education and outreach plan to decrease pollution, all city field employees and contractors are required to take a Stormwater Pollution Prevention class pertinent to their area of work.
