Summit County Stormwater is the first line of defense for protecting water quality and quantity from stormwater runoff pollution. It is our pleasure to issue construction permits, inspect for compliance, and assist the public.
Stormwater is any precipitation that runs off onto streets, lawns, construction sites and other impervious surfaces. Stormwater is untreated and directly enters waterways and surface waters. Fertilizers, sediment, animal waste, oil and grease are only some of the pollutants that can contaminate runoff. The first inch of runoff from a storm generally carries 90% of the contaminants.
