Summary
Springdale governs stormwater drainage design under a citywide Drainage Criteria Manual adopted by ordinance and enforceable under Chapter 106 of the city code.
That the City of Springdale Drainage Criteria Manual, a copy of which is on file in the city clerk's office and made a part hereof as though set out herein word for word, is hereby adopted in its entirety.

Editor's note— Ord. No. 2999, § 2, adopted June 27, 2000 repealed in their entirety the provisions of section 106-1 which pertained to scope and classification of stormwater drainage and derived from the Code of 1973, § 35-1. Ord. No. 2999, § 1, called for the adoption of the drainage criteria manual and was added to this Code as section 106-1 as currently set out herein, at the discretion of the editor.
Official source re-checked September 7, 2026: no newer edition of the code had been published (publisher’s edition: Code of Ordinances: Supplement 145).
Full Breakdown
Sec. 106-1 of the Springdale Code of Ordinances adopts the City of Springdale Drainage Criteria Manual 'in its entirety,' with a copy on file in the city clerk's office and made part of the code 'as though set out herein word for word.' Sec. 106-10 makes the chapter's requirements a floor, not a ceiling: where they conflict with other adopted rules, the more restrictive standard controls. Sec. 106-11 backs the chapter with fines under Sec. 1-9, treating each day a violation continues as a separate offense.
Violations & Fines
Violating the drainage chapter draws a fine under Sec. 1-9 plus prosecution costs; each day a violation continues counts as its own separate offense.
