Stormwater Management (SWM)
Our Mission Statement:
The Water System as an agency of Cobb County Government, is a utility operation responsible for water distribution, wastewater collection and treatment and stormwater management services.
Stormwater Management Goals and Objectives:
- To determine the limits, magnitude and frequency of flood hazards in the County; to determine the extent that flood hazards areas have been augmented by human activity (i.e. dams and urbanization); to exclude future development from these areas; and to preserve and reclaim floodplain areas; (natural flood storage areas) to the maximum extent practicable.
- To monitor biological diversity, along with a wide spectrum of non-point source pollutants within the major streams in Cobb County; to implement plans to improve the aquatic habitat and quality of streams; and to comply with federal and state mandates regarding clean water laws and regulations.
- To maintain stormwater infrastructure dedicated to and accepted by Cobb County for perpetual maintenance by County Code.
