Managing Stormwater
Think Blue San Diego – the City’s Stormwater Department – works in all weather conditions to build, maintain and modernize efficient stormwater infrastructure that lays the foundation for safe, sustainable and thriving communities. Part of that job is educating the public on the need for significant investments to upgrade the stormwater system to ensure clean water and clean beaches for all of us.
