of source controls throughout our built environment, we will capture rainwater before it enters our over-burdened sewer system. In 2008, the City undertook a comprehensive study of the costs and benefits of adopting citywide source control scenarios in the streets, sidewalks, private and public buildings, and parks. The result was a Sustainable Stormwater Management Plan that was the first in the country to analyze the location and feasibility
