New Storm Water Bylaws - Have Your Say!
The new Stormwater By-law focuses on stormwater drainage from domestic as well as trade (business and industrial) premises including open areas discharging to the George Municipality stormwater system and natural streams or rivers.
MEDIA STATEMENT: New Stormwater By-law
Issued George Municipality, 2 May 2023 for immediate release
Stormwater management was previously dealt with under the George Municipality Water and Sanitation Services By-law and the By-law Relating to Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places. The need for a separate By-law which deals exclusively with stormwater management was therefore identified. The purpose of the by-law is to regulate stormwater management and activities that may have an adverse impact on the development, operation and maintenance of the stormwater system.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION DETAILS

Feedback is required within 30 days. We encourage the residents of George to keep an eye out for the notices and to provide input.
