How We Manage Stormwater Right about now, there are a lot of people very interested in how Weston's Stormwater is managed. We're glad you've taken interest. In Weston, stormwater is managed through a system of interconnected lakes and canals which are regularly maintained by the City's Public Works Department. Our drainage system is designed for the “100-year flood” in such a way as to make sure water does not get into homes or compromise our sewer system |

While he's away, you can take some time to solve the clues from weeks one through five and submit the answers to us. If you have the chance to explore the parks, be sure to avoid areas that have standing water.
George will return on Monday, weather permitting. |
