Welcome to the South Burlington Stormwater Services Website

We are Vermont's first stormwater utility, and provide ongoing stormwater system maintenance, upgrades, and technical support for property owners.

The Utility manages stormwater in a cost-effective way for all city property owners. Please explore the rest of our site to learn more about the Utility and its benefits, and how stormwater affects South Burlington.

What is Stormwater?

Stormwater is rain that runs off impervious surfaces such as rooftops, paved streets, driveways, highways, parking lots, packed gravel roads, and hard surfaces. All properties with impervious surfaces generate stormwater runoff.

Runoff from a construction site can contain sediment and other pollutants that flow into the stormwater system and nearby waterways.

Stormwater can be seen flowing down the sides of roads during a heavy rainstorm. This water flows into storm drains found on the side of roads and in parking lots. Storm drains are part of a complex system of underground pipes, collectors, ponds, and outfalls that manage stormwater runoff and minimize its harmful effects.
