The Importance of Regular Stormwater System Maintenance and Inspections
Stormwater systems are installed with an expected lifespan of around 100 years. Regularly maintaining and inspecting your system can ensure it continues to function for the intended time period.
Unfortunately, many stormwater systems are not maintained and fall into disrepair, requiring entire rehabilitations.
Various levels of stormwater management include:
- Preventative maintenance
- Corrective maintenance
- Repairs
- Rehabilitations
How often do I need to perform stormwater maintenance?
Stormwater maintenance should be performed at least quarterly. In some cases, property owners may be required to have maintenance performed monthly, especially in during the growing season.
How do I handle a stormwater Notice of Violation?
Municipalities may send property owners a notice of violation or corrective notice due to lack of compliance with stormwater regulations. The notice will include the stormwater failure and a timeline to perform repairs. Contact a stormwater professional today to remediate the notice.
Is stormwater management required?
Managing stormwater is the responsibility of each property owner. The Federal Government has national standards for stormwater quality and preventing pollutant discharges. These regulations are enforced on the state and local levels. To learn more about what the local regulations are in your area, visit our State and Local Compliance Pages.
Why does my property require repair even with regular maintenance?
Stormwater maintenance is preventative. Regular maintenance ensures the system will continue to operate without major interruptions
How much should I budget for stormwater services?
Stormwater management budgets should include regular preventative maintenance and allow for potential corrective repairs. The amount depends on various factors like how large, how old and how often you take care of your stormwater system.
What is a Notice of Violation?
A Notice of Violation (NOV), also called corrective notice or action, is a letter from the city or municipality outlining failure or issues on your property. It often provides a timeline for repair with pending fines if the issue is not remediated by the date listed. AQUALIS resolves NOVs across the nation and is well equipped to remediate and advocate for your property to resolve the NOV.
Without regular maintenance, this property became non-compliant with local regulations.
