Background Information:
The Stormwater Master Plan encompasses multiple city initiatives undertaken over the last 3 years to address the issues associated with both the quality and quantity of stormwater runoff. The Master Plan summarizes the actions and recommendations in 5 key areas:
• Creek and riverine flooding
• Urban flooding (local drainage)
• Water Quality
• Disaster Recovery
• Regulatory improvements
The work completed with the master plan has:
• identified localized stormwater projects associated with the expedited stormwater capital improvements program,
• developed computer models of the rivers and streams to aid in analysis of future development,
• guided the regulatory language for City codes,
• and initiated the use of two dimensional modeling to better understand the complex movement of runoff both in the storm sewer and on the ground surface.
It provides the City a road map to move forward on the Council’s Stormwater Strategic Initiative.
Based upon the master plan, an update to the Stormwater Utility is anticipated to the complete by the end of 2018.
