What we did in Phase I of TSMS:

• Determined that most city washes and culverts cannot handle larger flows.

• Learned that public opinion favors treating storm water as a resource, not just as a nuisance to be disposed of quickly.

• Heard that the public supports storm water management on a watershed basis and wants natural water courses preserved.

• Established goals and objectives for the TSMS through extensive citizen involvement.

• Produced "Concept Basin Plans" for six major watersheds.
