In observance of the Independence Day national holiday, all Douglas County Government offices will be closed Friday, July 4. Offices will reopen on Monday, July 7, for normal business. Many County services are available 24/7 by visiting online services. License plate renewal is available online or at kiosks located throughout the County and state.
Douglas County’s stormwater program helps to keep our waterways clean and healthy, and ensures that pollutants do not leave construction sites, prohibits illicit discharges, and educates the public and local businesses on what they can do to help.
What is stormwater?
Stormwater is water from rain or snowmelt that does not infiltrate into the ground and flows across the land. Stormwater drains into a combination of underground pipes, inlets, drainage ditches, and ponds designed to collect, convey, and discharge directly into our local creeks and rivers. Unlike sanitary sewage drains, stormwater does not enter a wastewater treatment plant to be treated.

Inadequate stormwater management can result in flooding, infrastructure, and property damage, excessive soil erosion, degraded open space, unacceptable water quality in potable water supply reservoirs and other water bodies with decreased recreational and/or fish and wildlife values.
