Staunton's Stormwater Management Program has two primary goals. The first is to protect the city and our citizens from the adverse effects of unmanaged stormwater, and the second is to provide water quality and quantity protection to our local streams, tributaries, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. This program is a citywide effort that depends on the cooperation of nearly every city department and all of our citizens.

As heavier storms become more frequent, development increases, and problems caused by aging and legacy infrastructure arise, managing stormwater in Staunton, and cities like it, becomes an even more difficult task.
