Stormwater Projects

The City of Edgewood would like to draw your attention to an important matter that concerns the well-being of our community and the environment: stormwater management. In recent years, stormwater management has become a key component of long-term sustainability for cities across the United States, and Edgewood is no exception. We recognize that as a community, we need to define our role and responsibilities in responsible stormwater management.

Stormwater is the excess water that results from rainfall, and it can have significant impacts on both properties and the ecosystem. The consequences of inadequate stormwater management can be devastating, leading to erosion, flooding, and the contamination of water bodies with pollutants. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our community, it is crucial that we all play a role in responsible stormwater management.

The City of Edgewood is taking a proactive approach to address this issue by partnering with Sanitation District #1 (SD1) on several projects aimed at reducing the risk of flooding, preserving properties, and improving water quality. These collaborative efforts are essential to safeguarding our community against the impacts of stormwater.

It's important to note that the list of projects we are undertaking is not exhaustive, and there will be many more to come as weather patterns continue to change. The selection of these projects has been the result of many years of observation and analysis of stormwater issues by both the City and SD1. We are committed to taking meaningful action to protect our community and its environment.

We encourage all residents to join us in this collective effort for responsible stormwater management. Your engagement and understanding are vital as we work together to build a more sustainable and resilient Edgewood. By actively participating in our initiatives and staying informed, you can help us make a positive impact.
