The City's Public Works Division is responsible for complying with a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) permit issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).  The City's MS4 includes inspections and maintenance of the following items:
  • approximately 36 miles of ditches,
  • approximately 308 inlets,
  • storm sewers,
  • culverts,
  • 6 pond or dry retention systems,
  • approximately 16 miles of r-o-w maintenance including litter collection,
  • street sweeping approximately 11 miles of road with curb and gutter, and
  • other stormwater facilities.

The City collects a Stormwater Management Utility fee from both residential and non-residential customers to help pay for stormwater management activities and compliance with the MS4 permit in accordance with Article V. Stormwater Utility System of the City's Code of Ordinances. Currently the yearly stormwater expenditures exceed the revenue generated by the Stormwater Management Fees.

We encourage our citizens to report their stormwater related issues and problems. To report a problem please contact City Hall at 904.270.2400 ext. 31.
