Stormwater Projects
Because of extensive repair needs to the stormwater system, in 2018, the City Commission adopted Charter ordinance No. 58 establishing the Stormwater Utility Fee as a dedicated revenue source to address the maintenance, repair and replacement of critical stormwater infrastructure in the City. The stormwater fee has provided the City with a resource to complete many projects explained in detail below. City staff have identified more than 100 future projects. Stormwater infrastructure collapse can affect any area of the city -- on public or private property.

Future Stormwater Projects
Did you know? "Stormwater" is any water that falls to the ground from precipitation. The stormwater system, whether natural or constructed, collects stormwater and carries it to the natural drainage basins, such as Three-Mile Creek, Five-Mile Creek and the Missouri River. The stormwater system is separate from the sewer system.
