Program Summary
When rain falls in the Town of Fountain Hills, runoff water is collected by many different types of inlets. The water is then routed via curbs/gutters, pipes, open channels and other conveyances to community retention basins, parks, and area floodways. The runoff does not go to a treatment plant.
In order to protect the quality of stormwater runoff, the Town of Fountain Hills obtained a permit from the Environmental Protection Agency in 2003. That permit requires Fountain Hills to implement a number of different programs called Best Management Practices (BMPs). Some of these BMPs include:
- Retention Basin Maintenance
- Storm Drain Maintenance
- Street Sweeping
- Oversight of Construction Sites
- Public Education
- Oversight of Industrial Facilities
- Support of Oil Recycling
In addition to these BMPs, the Town of Fountain Hills has adopted ordinance 14-7, which prohibits the discharge of pollutants into the storm drain system.
