    Storm Water<\/h1>\n

    The Storm Sewer Utility is part of the division of Public Works. We operate and maintain the city\u2019s storm drains year-round to prevent flooding and water pollution within the City of Springville.<\/p>\n

    Storm drains are series of pipes and other structural facilities that convey water away from potential flooding areas. This system is a separate storm water collection and runoff system. It is not connected in any manner to the wastewater (sewer) collection system.<\/p>\n

    Storm water is not filtered, cleaned or treated before it is released to our creeks, Utah Lake or to the aquifer, so it can be a pollutant if it is not kept clean. It is a Federal, State and Municipal offense to put anything other than normal storm runoff with some exemptions into a storm drain.<\/p>\n

    If you see anyone illegally dumping or discharging chemicals, oil, paint or other pollutants in gutters or storm drains,  immediately report it by calling (801) 491-2780.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Environmental Issues<\/h2>\n

    You can help keep storm water clean by never dumping chemicals, oils or cleaning fluids down storm drains. Remember, if you can’t drink it \u2014 don’t dump it.<\/p>\n
