Stormwater is water that comes from rain or melting snow that is not absorbed into the ground. Controlling stormwater and keeping it free from pollutants at the local level is mandated by law.
The Stormwater page on our website has many resources from Cornell Cooperative Extension you can use to reduce your impact on our groundwater and watershed. Do your part for clean water!
