The Public Works Department maintains the City’s drainage system to minimize adverse impacts caused by heavy rains. If you have any questions regarding Drainage, please call our hotline at 311 (within the City of Schertz) or call the Public Works Office directly at 210-619-1800.

Stormwater

Stormwater runoff from rain events carries pollutants into our waterways. Many pollutants can be harmful to people, animals, and the environment. Citizens, visitors, as well as City of Schertz Employees are all needed to do their part to reduce pollutants in our waterways. If you have any questions regarding stormwater runoff or pollutants, please call our hotline at 311 (within the City of Schertz) or call the Public Works Office directly at 210-619-1800.

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System

As the operator of a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System, or MS4, the City of Schertz is required to be compliant with rules and regulations of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) with respect to stormwater discharged to water ways.  In order to comply, Schertz submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) to comply with TCEQ General Permit to Discharge under the Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System which is under the provision of Section 402 of the Clean Water Act and Chapter 26 of the Texas Water Code.

One requirement of the General Permit is the development and implementation of a Stormwater Management Plan to be used to reduce stormwater pollution and protect water quality.
