Stormwater Management
Protecting the water resources that make Ogden Valley unique.
Ogden Valley City is committed to protecting the water resources that make our community unique.
Rain and snowmelt flowing across roads, driveways, rooftops, construction sites, and other developed areas can carry sediment, nutrients, bacteria, oil, trash, and other pollutants into local waterways. In Ogden Valley, stormwater runoff ultimately reaches the North, Middle, and South Forks of the Ogden River, as well as Pineview Reservoir.
The City's Stormwater Management Program helps reduce pollution, protect water quality, and support the long-term health of the Ogden River watershed for residents, visitors, agriculture, recreation, wildlife, and future generations.

Pollution Reaching a Waterway?
If you observe a spill, sediment, or polluted runoff entering or affecting a stream, river, reservoir, wetland, or other water of the state, also notify the Utah Division of Water Quality
Incident Response Line: 801-536-4123
Building, Developing, or Excavating?
Construction, grading, excavation, and other land-disturbing activities may be subject to City stormwater requirements and, depending on the project, Utah construction stormwater permitting requirements.
Important: Requirements may apply to projects disturbing less than one acre when they are part of a larger subdivision or common plan of development.
What Is an MS4?
MS4 stands for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. It refers to the network of streets, gutters, ditches, culverts, and other drainage features that collect stormwater and carry it to local waterways.
Unlike sanitary sewer systems, stormwater is generally not treated before it reaches rivers, streams, and reservoirs. This makes preventing pollution at the source especially important.
