Upcoming Stormwater Awareness Webinar
The City of Phoenix invites you to help reduce stormwater pollution by participating in Stormwater Awareness Week January 20, through 26, 2025. Stormwater can pick up pollutants such as oil or trash and pollutes our rivers, washes, and parks. Your simple everyday actions can make a huge difference and improve stormwater quality and our environment.
Several Arizona cities and organizations will join Phoenix for this regional effort to educate the public about the importance of preserving stormwater quality for the environment and future generations.
Remember, only rain in the storm drain.

Management Program
The Stormwater Management Section (SWM) works in cooperation with other City departments to coordinate the City's stormwater management program and maintain compliance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. SWM inspects industrial and commercial facilities for compliance with Phoenix City Code Chapter 32C, investigates illicit discharges to the storm drain system, conducts wet-weather monitoring, and conducts public outreach. The Street Transportation Department is responsible for maintenance of storm drains and washes, cleaning the streets and catch basins, as well as creating maps of the City's storm drain system. The Planning and Development Department monitors construction sites for stormwater compliance. Public Works implements the Household Hazardous Waste Collection Program and works with Keep Phoenix Beautiful to conduct environmental education and outreach programs. The Office of Environmental Programs coordinates city employee training and evaluates City facilities and construction activities for compliance with stormwater requirements.
