WHY THIS MATTERS:
Louisiana is a number one rainfall state. We have now joined the 41 other states who have declared stormwater to be a utility. Now it’s up to local leadership and to help our state pivot—we must work together to manage stormwater instead of letting it manage us. Hear from experts in the field and how others are creating programs that are successful.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE:
Directors of MS4 Compliance and city/parish officials interested in learning about the recently passed stormwater utility legislation and the benefits of Stormwater Management Programs.
