Stormwater Management: Haltom City vs Mansfield

Can I drain my pool into the storm drain in Haltom City?

Only if the water is fully dechlorinated (no detectable chlorine), at neutral pH, free of algae, and drained slowly to avoid erosion. Direct the flow to a grass area when possible rather than the gutter. Check with Haltom City Public Works at (817) 222-7700 before large pool drains.

Do I need a SWPPP for my Haltom City home construction?

If your project disturbs less than 1 acre and is not part of a larger development plan, no formal TCEQ SWPPP is required. The city still requires basic erosion control (silt fence, inlet protection) on any building permit to prevent sediment from leaving the site.

Can I drain my pool to the Mansfield street in my yard?

Pool water containing chlorine or salt should not be discharged to the storm drain. Dechlorinate and slowly release to a pervious area on your own lot to avoid an illicit discharge violation.

What size project needs a stormwater plan in Mansfield?

Construction or land disturbance of 1 or more acres requires a TCEQ TXR150000 permit and a full SWPPP. Smaller sites still must prevent sediment migration beyond property lines.
