The Stormwater Division is responsible for the
maintenance of the drainage system throughout the city. The division is responsible
for 25 miles of storm drainage and 1,000 catch basins. This division is also responsible
for cleaning and maintaining the swale rights-of-way, scheduling a street sweeping
program, and complying with the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permit.
The City has joined with Broward County and other
municipalities to perform various tasks associated with the NPDES permit. The
street sweeping task is complying with the NPDES permit requirements. The employees
in this division also install new drainage systems, clean drain lines and catch
basins. The cleaning of storm drain lines and catch basins are done on a schedule
that is created by the streets supervisor, who also supervises the employees of
this division. |
