Stormwater management is critical to preserving the quality of water in Minnesota. The City of Fergus Falls storm sewers drain into the Otter Tail River, Lake Alice, Wright Lake, Hoot Lake and other water bodies. This stormwater has a direct influence on our natural environment.  

Any pollutants or sediment that enters the city storm sewer system can harm the aquatic life in our rivers, the animals along its banks, or the thousands of people in the state who use rivers and lakes for recreation or as a water supply.  

To better regulate what enters our rivers, the City of Fergus Falls has developed a stormwater management program.

If you have questions about the City of Fergus Falls Stormwater Management Plan or to report a resident/business that is illegally polluting or discharging to the storm sewer system, please call 218-332-5421 or email Stormwater Programs Manager Matt Harrington.
