Stormwater

Burlington’s stormwater system is made up of natural and man-made infrastructure that helps carry rain water throughout the city to local streams, creeks, and rivers.  

Our Stormwater Division works to improve and maintain this system as a means to reduce hazardous flooding, preserve water resources, and protect people in our community.
