The City of Clermont maintains 88 miles of Stormwater pipe and drains and 64 basins/retention ponds. The stormwater department helps to maintain all of the stormwater runoff to Clermont's lakes to ensure that public fresh water resources are maintained to Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) standards for the State of Florida. With proper maintenance and treatment of the City's stormwater system and runoff into the public fresh water areas, everyone can continue to enjoy the natural beauty here in Clermont.

Homeowners can help prevent polluted runoff by using fertilizers and chemicals sparingly, maintaining septic systems and picking up pet waste. It is also helpful to prevent drain blockages by keeping grass clippings, leaves and branches away from stormwater drains.
