Storm Water Pollution Prevention Program
A new Phase II Stormwater Permit is in progress at the State level. Once it is adopted, it will be implemented. The city must comply with everything that is in the current permit.

The new permit has not yet been released. (Last Update: October 2023). The City awarded the design contract to Stantec Engineering for the design of the City’s trash capturing system. The System will consist of trash capturing devices and improvements at the Olive Avenue regional basin and Salado Creek.
