After the storm: Abilene's weekly stormwater service projects
The city of Abilene's Stormwater Services Division regularly works to maintain compliance with state and federal regulations for stormwater management and water quality protection.
Due to these regulations, city employees must make efforts to clean up creeks, streets and drainage systems to prevent pollution to the city's water supply.
Abilene residents pay a monthly stormwater utility fee which pays for maintenance and improvement to the stormwater drainage system and other stormwater activities.
There are numerous scheduled projects for the week of April 19-25, including street sweeping, mowing, tree trimming and drainage maintenance.
