The City of Carmel’s Department of Stormwater Management was established in 2014 to manage the city’s ever increasing costs to maintain existing stormwater infrastructure, construct new infrastructure, address localized drainage issues and prevent waterway pollution. 

The Carmel City Council later established a new flat rate for residential properties, used to calculate fees for non-residential properties, as well as an annual automatic rate increase. The department is administered by City Engineering Department staff.

The department is also responsible for implementing the City’s Stormwater Management Plan. 

To learn more about the City’s stormwater program and the stormwater utility, please watch the City of Carmel Stormwater Utility Video.

Here, you can find more information about stormwater runoff and how to prevent stormwater pollution.
