The meeting will cover an update of the 2013 City of Helena Engineering Standards, Chapter 4 on stormwater. Updating design and engineering standards signals upcoming changes to how public works and private developments must handle stormwater infrastructure. Engineering, environmental, and modeling firms should view this as a chance to support standard revisions, training, and future projects brought into compliance with the new requirements.

Standard revisions may drive future retrofit projects, drainage improvements, and developer support needs.
