Stormwater Facility Inspections due March 31

 

Do you have a stormwater pond on your property or in your neighborhood?     
In Ferndale, it is the property owner’s responsibility to inspect and maintain the onsite stormwater facility (pond, vault, trench, raingarden, etc). 

City Code requires that you turn in an annual inspection and maintenance checklist to City Hall by March 31 every
year. See our Stormwater Management page for resources, checklists & more!
