Huntington Beach Public Works DepartmentStorm Water Quality and Urban Runoff Program - Protecting Water Quality
The City of Huntington Beach is known throughout the nation as one the best places to live, work and play. Our 9.5 miles of beaches are highly valued recreational resources to our residents and millions of visitors each year.
Urban runoff, the water from our yards, driveways, and streets that flows through storm drains, is the greatest single source of pollution to our beaches and harbor. Unlike sewage, urban runoff is not always treated before it reaches our beaches and local waterways.
The City is taking proactive steps to preserve and protect the quality of its waterways for the future. By improving water quality we are protecting our ocean, providing a healthy marine environment, and helping to ensure a sustainable place to live, work, and play for years to come.
