Does stormwater go to a treatment plant?
No. Unlike wastewater, which is treated, stormwater goes directly into a community's streams, rivers and lakes. Because stormwater comes in large amounts at unpredictable times, treating it as wastewater would be very expensive. However, there are Best Management Practices (BMPs) that can reduce the impact of stormwater.
