Storm water can become an environmental concern when it collects contaminants as it flows over land as rainfall runoff, snowmelt runoff, surface runoff and drainage. Storm water is then transported through municipal separate storm sewer systems, where it ultimately enters local rivers and streams. Contaminants such as sediment, toxins and nutrients can degrade water quality and the health of surrounding plants and animals. To reduce pollutants that reach our water sources, the City of Lewisville has developed a plan to meet state and federal regulations.
