Dunedin regulates stormwater runoff under Chapter 78, Article IX of its Code of Ordinances. Property owners must control stormwater discharge, avoid illicit connections to the storm sewer system, and follow the city's stormwater utility requirements.
Article IX of Chapter 78 (Utilities) establishes Dunedin's Stormwater Management Program, including definitions, prohibited discharges, and compliance obligations. Article IV operates the Stormwater Utility, which assesses fees on developed properties to fund maintenance of the city's drainage infrastructure. Discharges of pollutants, sediment, oil, paint, fertilizers, or non-stormwater flows into the storm sewer system are prohibited. Site development must include a drainage plan, with storm pipe minimum diameters, design storms, and inlet spacing per the city's infrastructure standards. The 10-year storm is generally used for design, and reinforced concrete pipe is required unless an alternative is approved.
Violations may trigger code enforcement citations, daily fines, mandatory cleanup, and recovery of city remediation costs from the responsible party.
