Pollution Prevention 11/7/2006

Storm Water Pollution Prevention: Environmental Management Department says every one of us can make a positive difference in preventing pollution in our neighborhood creeks and lakes.

About Us 11/7/2006

The City of Fort Worth Department of Environmental Management is responsible for maintaining and monitoring water quality in urban lakes, rivers, neighborhood creeks, and storm drains. This responsibility is managed by the department's Water Quality Section. Storm drain systems are designed to remove storm water runoff from urban areas. In this part of the country, storm water sewer systems are separate from wastewater sewer systems, and untreated runoff flows directly to the nearest bodies of water. Unfortunately, any pollutants such as pesticides, oil, and detergents that are present on urban land, streets, or other surfaces are carried along. This also means that anything a person might pour into or dispose of in a storm drain inlet goes directly into a body of water the next time it rains. Environmental Management has received numerous state and national awards for its storm water program, and its storm water ordinance is included by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in its list of model ordinances.
