Step 2. Spotting Stormwater Problems

What If It’s Not My System?

Drainage problems don't begin or end at the property line. Runoff from your property may affect your neighbors. Likewise, runoff from your neighbor's property or a public system could affect your property. Effective stormwater management needs to happen at the community level.


Typically, homeowners are responsible for stormwater management within their parcel boundary. Stormwater is also managed by public systems or shared private systems (such as a Homeowner's Association). For example, stormwater management along public or private roads (including pipes or ditches) is typically the responsibility of the Homeowners Association or local city or county jurisdiction.


If a public system is not functioning properly or is having a negative impact on your property, you can submit a drainage complaint to your local jurisdiction. Drainage complaints are often tied to regional drainage upgrade priorities, so it benefits you to make your voice heard.

Step 3. Implementing Best Practices for Stormwater Management

Examples of Stormwater Management

Gray plastic tight line

Tight Lines

Connect gutter downspouts to a drainage system that conveys stormwater to a safe discharge location. Buried pipe is more expensive than above-grade pipe, which is easy to install and maintain and can be screened by vegetation.

Lined rain gardens

Lined Rain Gardens

Rain gardens are designed to filter stormwater through soil and vegetation, allowing some of it to evaporate between storms. They should not be used on bluffs, but are suitable for upland areas with low banks.

Rain barrel

Rain Barrels

Collected stormwater can be used to supplement irrigation needs. Avoid heavy irrigation that will saturate your soil.

Dispersion

Direct water laterally away from structures and pavement into vegetated areas. Stormwater should not be directed to drain freely down a bluff face.
