Stormwater and Waterway Protection

As warmer weather returns and residents begin spring yard work and outdoor activities, it’s a good time to remember that stormwater runoff from streets, lawns, and parking lots flows directly into the Village’s storm sewer system and ultimately into local waterways. Everyday activities, such as improper disposal of pet waste, fertilizer runoff from lawns, or sediment from construction projects, can carry pollutants into nearby streams. 

The Village of Scarsdale maintains a Stormwater Management program to help protect water quality and reduce pollution entering the storm sewer system. Residents and businesses can learn more about simple steps to help protect local waterways by visiting the Village’s Stormwater Management page, which includes informational bulletins on topics such as phosphorus pollution, pet waste management, illicit discharge prevention, and sediment control.
