Hollywood FL's stormwater system manages rainwater runoff across the city including the barrier island. The Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan involves approximately $2 billion in improvements. New development must meet peak runoff control standards. The system includes drainage trenches, canals, lakes, and other water bodies.
The City of Hollywood's stormwater system transports rainwater off streets, away from buildings, and into drainage trenches, canals, lakes, and other water bodies. Heavy rains, tidal flooding, and rising sea levels have challenged the aging system. The Comprehensive Citywide Stormwater Master Plan is the most ambitious infrastructure initiative in the city's history, with an estimated $2 billion in long-term improvements. New development and redevelopment must meet peak runoff control standards and incorporate stormwater management features. The system serves both the mainland and the barrier island. Stormwater utility fees fund infrastructure improvements.
Unauthorized modifications to the drainage system are violations. Failure to meet stormwater management requirements results in permit denial.
