Stormwater

Every time it rains some of the water enters the ground, but the rest of the precipitation runs off over the land surface directly into streams, rivers, and lakes. This is known as stormwater runoff and the land area that drains to these bodies of water is called a watershed. (For more information, see Stormwater 101.)

If left unchecked, stormwater can lead to flooding and polluted waterways. Johns Creek shares the Upper Chattahoochee watershed with Fulton County and 14 other counties surrounding Metro Atlanta, all of which use the water bodies in this watershed for both drinking water and recreation. Everything that happens in this watershed – development, pollution, erosion, flooding – has the potential to affect the health and stability of our water, so proper stormwater management and watershed protection is essential.

To ensure water quality in the city is maintained and enhanced, negative stormwater impacts are minimized, and state and federal requirements are satisfied, the City of Johns Creek has developed a coordinated Stormwater Management Program using a variety of methods:

Watershed Planning

Using watershed as a framework for managing land use and developing large scale solutions to regional stormwater quantity and quality problems.

Development Requirements

Addressing stormwater impacts of new development and redevelopment through stormwater management requirements and minimum standards.

Erosion & Sediment Control

Controlling erosion and soil loss from construction and post-construction areas and resulting downstream sedimentation.

Floodplain Management

Preserving the function of floodplain areas to reduce flood hazards, minimize risks to human life and property, and reduce modifications to streams and protect water quality.

Operations Maintenance

Ensuring that stormwater management systems and structural controls work as designed and constructed. Includes the retrofitting of existing problem areas.

Behind-the-Scenes: Stormwater Utility

Stormwater Utility Manager Cory Rayburn highlights the behind-the-scenes work of the City’s stormwater management program, including state-of-the-art technologies that help prevent flooding, protecting water quality, and preventative maintenance. The stormwater utility operates and maintains 150 miles of underground pipes and more than 5,000 catch basins in Johns Creek. The City actively inspects, cleans, and repairs these systems and stormwater utility funds are used to maintain, repair, and replace pipes and inlets that help drain our neighborhoods and lawns.
