Naperville manages stormwater through storm sewers, detention basins, and overflow routes. Property owners must keep storm sewer inlets clear. No dumping of debris or chemicals into storm sewers. DuPage County Stormwater Ordinance also applies.
Naperville's Stormwater Management Program uses storm sewers, detention basins, and overflow routes to manage runoff. Property owners must keep storm sewer inlets clear of leaves, grass, and debris. Dumping debris, landscape waste, garbage, or chemicals into storm sewer inlets is prohibited. The city participates in the NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit program. Development projects must comply with both city stormwater standards and the DuPage County Countywide Stormwater and Floodplain Ordinance. Fences and structures must not interfere with stormwater management. Sump pump discharge cannot be directed to sidewalks or streets. The city provides resources on yard drainage and flooding prevention through the Stormwater Resources page.
Dumping into storm sewers: environmental violation with fines. Obstructing drainage: code enforcement notice. Development without proper stormwater management: stop-work order.
