Stormwater and Flood Management Utility. The purpose of this Master Plan is to improve the management of stormwater and drainageways to help protect people, places, property and ecosystems in a way that builds resilience and is consistent with community values.
This update was informed by community input, lessons learned from the 2013 flood, Boulder’s Racial Equity Plan and the increasing evidence of climate change, among other considerations. It outlines a long-term vision for how to complete major projects and
recommends guidelines and standards for carrying out day-to-day operations of the Utility.
