Missouri City regulates stormwater discharges and construction site runoff under its drainage and stormwater ordinance, requiring controls to protect the municipal storm sewer system.
The Missouri City stormwater management program prohibits non-stormwater discharges to the storm sewer system, requires construction sites disturbing one or more acres to have approved stormwater pollution prevention plans, and mandates post-construction controls for new development. Property owners must maintain on-site drainage features and avoid actions that block, redirect, or contaminate stormwater flows.
Discharging pollutants, sediment, or wash water to storm drains, failing to implement required controls, or blocking drainage flows can lead to stop work orders, civil penalties, and required cleanup.
