Municipal storm water management for local governments has evolved over time from an urban flood control function, to water and resource management function, to an environmental protection and regulatory function. All three functions now co-exist as responsibilities of local government.
An MS-4 community is a community that owns and operates a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). The system is designed to collect and convey stormwater, typically through streets, ditches, catch basins, and storm drains. It's separate from the sanitary sewer system that handles wastewater. MS4s are regulated under the Clean Water Act to manage and treat stormwater runoff before it discharges into local water bodies, protecting water quality and public health.
As part of the MS-4 permit the Village of Glendale Heights is required to undertake certain activities such as:
The DuPage River and Salt Creek Workgroup (DRSCW) undertakes and provides the Village an annual MS4 activities report. This annual report outlines and provides details of some of the activities undertaken by the DRSCW and Village. See the quick links on the right side of the web page to review the MS-4 activity reports.
