Yuma manages stormwater through a separate storm sewer system. The city's Engineering Department oversees the Stormwater Management Program. Illicit discharges to the storm drain system are prohibited.
The City of Yuma's stormwater management program operates through a separate storm sewer network with catch basins and detention basins. Stormwater is captured and discharged through gravity or lift stations. The Engineering Department oversees the program. Illicit discharges (chemicals, sediment, waste) to the storm drain system are prohibited. Construction sites disturbing 1+ acres require an AZPDES permit and SWPPP. Yuma receives only about 3 inches of rain per year, but desert thunderstorms can cause intense flash flooding. The 'Only Rain Down the Drain' campaign educates residents about stormwater quality.
Illicit discharges may result in city citations and ADEQ enforcement. Construction without AZPDES permits triggers state penalties.
