Water is one of Kansas City’s most valuable resources. Water enhances our quality of life and our future depends on it. But during heavy rains, too much water all at once can cause floods, overflows and sewer backups. The Water Services Department’s Wet Weather Solutions Program includes the Overflow Control Program and Stormwater Management. The Wet Weather Solutions Program is designed to address flooding and water quality problems with plans developed with extensive input from our residents along with strong, creative leadership and a stewardship ethic.The Wet Weather Solutions Program is designed to accomplish three primary goals: - Minimize loss of life and injury and reduce property damage due to flooding;
- Improve water quality; and
- Maximize economic, social and environmental benefits.
