Storm Water Property Owner's Guide
In 2002, as a federal mandate, the County of Greenville established a storm water program in order to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Water Act. Programs were created to address water quality issues related to the storm water runoff and to help correct some of the County's worst flooding problems. Greenville County has jurisdiction within the City of Simpsonville to enforce this Act.
Property owners continue to be responsible and accountable for actions that could lead to water quality degradation and flooding issues.
Your Responsibilities
- Do not attempt to block the natural path of water on your property in any way.
- Consider the natural drainage path when installing fences and sheds.
- Do not attempt to divert water from your property onto another property.
- It is important to keep drainage ditches in your yard free of debris so that water can drain properly. Yard debris also causes algae blooms which affect water quality.
- According to state law, it is the responsibility of property owners with streams on or adjacent to their properties to keep the streams free of debris and fallen trees.
- Do not dump any substances such as dog waste, yard waste, motor oil, antifreeze, or paint into creeks or streams on your property or storm drains in your neighborhood. Streams and storm drains are part of the stormwater system. Dumping items will directly affect the water quality and can result in fines and enforcement actions.
- Water from a neighboring property should be settled between the property owners. If the water is coming from an entire subdivision, contact Greenville County's Land Development Division (864-467-4610).
- If you plan on making modifications to your property that may disturb the topsoil or alter drainage patterns, please check with Greenville County Land Development.
