Stormwater director reports 205 acres disturbed, crews collected two tons of trash in 2025
Summary
Jeremy Kenway, the stormwater director, told the Seagrant and Board of Commissioners that the 2025 stormwater utility year included 205 acres of land disturbance, two tons of trash (including 35 tires) recovered during stream cleanup, 13,000 camera inspections and more than 10,000 feet of pipe work.
Jeremy Kenway, the county’s director of stormwater, presented the utility’s 2025 annual report at the Seagrant and Board of Commissioners workshop on Nov. 25.
Kenway said the utility recorded 205 acres of land disturbance this year, including 24 sites described in the transcript as under 10 acres. "This year we ended up picking up two tons of trash with 35 tires," he said, summarizing the cleanup totals.
Kenway highlighted inspection and maintenance workload: more than 13,000 camera inspections using a newly acquired camera unit, over 64,000 combined ditch, construction and maintenance activities, and just over 10,000 feet of pipes installed, repaired or maintained through jetting, cleaning and daily checks. He also reported that street sweepers logged more than 3,000 miles this year.
The presentation included public-facing improvements: 19 new watershed signs updated with the city logo and an order for new storm drain markers to be installed in town in the near term. Kenway concluded the oral report by saying, "And that's pretty much all of my report." A board member thanked staff and no further questions were raised.
The numbers Kenway provided give a snapshot of the utility’s operations in 2025; some transcript phrasing about the 24 sites was unclear, and the transcript does not provide additional written detail or supporting documents in the record.
