Stormwater Management
Permitting
The City of St. Charles has adopted the Kane County Stormwater Ordinance, with amendments, as Title 18 of the City Code.
The City is a Certified Community, allowing us to administer and enforce the Kane County Stormwater Ordinance within our corporate limits (including the portion of St. Charles located in DuPage County).
Stormwater Permits for work within St. Charles corporate limits should be submitted to the Community Development Department, utilizing the City's Site Development / Stormwater Management Permit.
Maintenance
The City monitors and inspects privately-owned detention basins in the City and advises owners of maintenance issues. Maintenance issues that are not addressed may be referred for Code Enforcement follow up.
