"Our waterways, like Lake Georgetown and the San Gabriel River, aren’t just great recreation spots," stormwater management coordinator Tiffany Spicer said. "They also serve as homes to hundreds of species and provide drinking water from, through, and to Georgetown and other communities in the area. It’s important we know people’s understanding of these systems, their impacts, and our programs, so we can work together to protect these critical resources."

The survey will close on Friday, July 16.

The City says it has a Storm Water Management Program as required by state and federal regulations. The program describes the steps required to reduce pollutants in the City’s storm water.
