About the Division
History
In October, 2001, City Council amended the City Code by enacting Chapter 96 Storm Water which consolidated all the existing storm water regulations into one chapter and enacted a new article dealing with discharges of pollutants into the municipal storm water drainage system. Storm Water Services, previously part of the Engineering Division, was elevated to Division status in 2002.
