Stormwater Informational Links

We feature a Florida Stormwater Education Corner - Protecting Florida's Water section in each issue of our District News and Notes where landowners can read about about stormwater happenings at the local, state and federal levels, as well as get tips on what you can do.

 

Our website offers information on stormwater management, septic systems, water quality and detailed information is available in the District Engineer's annual report published each year. For your reference, we've included a number of website links should you be interested in learning more about stormwater and its impact on public health and safety and the environment.
