Stormwater refers to any water that falls to the ground and travels overland to local waterways. Because stormwater travels overland, it picks up pollutants and delivers them into surface water, affecting water quality.
Protecting Our Water Quality
The City of McKinney passed a Stormwater Management Ordinance & developed a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) in accordance with TCEQ MS4 permit requirements to help protect surface water quality within city limits by reducing the amount of pollutants that enter our waterways.
