Stormwater

The Town of Malabar is dedicated to maintaining the water quality of our community in order to protect, preserve and enhance the immediate and long term health, safety and general welfare of the citizens in our Town.

Stormwater runoff is generated when precipitation from rain events flows over land or impervious surfaces and does not percolate into the ground. As the runoff flows over the land or impervious surfaces (paved streets, parking lots, and building rooftops), it accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment or other pollutants that could adversely affect water quality if the runoff is discharged untreated.

In Malabar, we live in the Indian River Lagoon Watershed. Therefore, the majority of water in Malabar reaches the Indian River Lagoon through Turkey Creek, Goat Creek or via direct discharge.
