Stormwater
As stormwater flows over driveways, lawns, and sidewalks, it picks up debris, chemicals, dirt and other pollutants. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged, untreated, into the water bodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. Polluted runoff is the nation’s greatest threat to clean water. The City of Loganville addressed this threat with the creation of the Stormwater Division in 2003. To meet increasing federal and state regulations, the City established a Stormwater Management Program in 2004 that includes numerous activities, such as: Public Education, Participation, Illicit Discharge Detection & Elimination, Construction Site Control, Post-Construction Management, and Pollution Prevention. A report on all stormwater program activities performed is required to be submitted to the Georgia Environmental Protection Division on an annual basis. Successful implementation of this program designed to ensure clean streams and lakes to meet our drinking water needs, recreational desires and a high quality of life requires the combined commitment of all local residents, businesses, developers and government officials and staff. Thank you for helping us protect our critical water resources!
Infrastructure for stormwater includes pipes, ditches, and facilities to hold, infiltrate, and clean up stormwater in a safe and efficient manner that protects against flooding, while also minimizing impacts to the environment. Loganville has an estimated 31 miles of stormwater pipes, 11 miles of ditches, and 1440 stormwater structures.
