Stormwater Project Spotlight: 61st Terrace and Hodges Drive
One of the various stormwater efforts throughout the City includes the drainage modification project at 61st Terrace and Hodges Drive. Construction involves the removal of existing structures and installation of new pipes, one area inlet, and partial driveway replacement. This will help address runoff that currently drains onto the public Right-of-Way. Construction is anticipated to begin in the fall of this year.

Stormwater Spotlight: Illicit Discharge
Anything entering a storm sewer system that is not entirely composed of stormwater is considered illicit discharge.

Common Examples:
– Septic Tank Seepage
– Automotive Fluids (oil, gasoline)
– Household Toxins (pesticides, cooking grease)
– Construction Waster (paint, concrete)
– Spills

🚨Be on the lookout for signs of illicit discharge near storm drains and outfalls such as
