Pendleton Stormwater Management
Our stormwater quality management efforts allow citizens of Pendleton to enjoy clean, safe water. This page includes information about Pendleton's current stormwater management practices, plans, and partnerships.
What is Stormwater Management?
Stormwater Management refers to the various ways in which communities work to reduce excess levels of runoff from rainwater. Locations with more impervious surfaces such as parking lots and roads create a barrier to rainwater being naturally soaked back into the earth and create a risk of flooding, muddiness, erosion of the built and natural environment, and sewer system overflow.
