of the drainage system throughout the city. The division is

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
