The streets, inlets, detention basins and storm sewers within the City collect stormwater and convey it directly into our waterways. Stormwater is NOT treated like the sanitary sewer system. The stormwater conveyance system consists of various components, including curb and gutter, catch basins, culverts, storm sewers, ditches and various City-owned detention facilities. The maintenance and operation of this system is provided by the Stormwater Utility, and benefits all properties within the City. The costs of these services are funded by a user fee listed on your Kenosha Water Utility bill.
