On 10 March 2003, the City of Georgetown submitted their Phase II permit to the Kentucky Division of Water. This permit is designed to improve water quality from our storm system or MS4 (Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System). The permit requires the City address six areas, or control measures. The six control measures are:
- Public Education and Outreach
- Public Involvement and Participation
- Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination
- Construction Site Storm Water Runoff Control
- Post-Construction Storm Water Management, and Pollution Prevention
- Good Housekeeping for Municipal Operations
Several tasks and activities have been identified within each control measure. The ultimate goal of each control measure is to reduce the impact storm water has on our local receiving streams, namely North Elkhorn Creek, Dry Run, Lanes Run and the Royal Springs Aquifier, which is the primary source of our drinking water.
