Untreated stormwater runoff is a major source of pollution in urbanized areas. The City uses requirements set forth in a State of Missouri permit to develop and maintain a Stormwater Management Program Plan (SWMP). This Plan considers individual, household, and public behaviors and activities that can generate pollution within the City.

The Plan is updated every five (5) years. As a part of the Public Involvement and Participation Requirement, the Plan must go through public review. On May 14, 2019, the Public Works Department made a presentation regarding the SWMP to City Council and attending members of the public. Click the link below to see a copy of the presentation.
