What are Stormwater Systems?

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

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.

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.

Stormwater maintenance is preventative. Regular maintenance ensures the system will continue to operate without major interruptions.

The Sustainable Water Compliance Summit is an engaging and educational event hosted by AQUALIS. The event highlights industry leaders from across the United States to review and present emerging projects and technologies. With insightful plenary sessions, active audience participation and potential continuing education credits, the event is a must attend for water professionals. Join us at our next summit to raise awareness and promote action toward enhancing stormwater and wastewater management at local, regional and national levels.
