This Division provides maintenance, operation and expansion of the storm drainage system. All budgeted funds come from the general fund and, where appropriate, gas tax expenditures where storm drainage installations are in connection with major street projects. The majority of the storm water in the city is collected and pumped into the Tulare Irrigation District canal system under provisions of an agreement entered into in 2005. Storm water also flows into park/ponding basins and storm drainage retention basins. The city is subject to the Federal Phase II Storm Water NPDES permit requirements.
