Frequently Asked Questions

What are record drawings, and do I need them for my stormwater facility in Valley City?

Record drawings are as-built documents showing exactly how the completed stormwater facility was constructed, which may differ from the original design. Valley City requires them as part of the final stormwater management plan submitted after construction wraps up.

How can AQUALIS help with post-construction stormwater compliance in Valley City?

AQUALIS coordinates the professional engineer certification and record drawings required for a property’s final stormwater management plan, confirms any additional post-construction maintenance obligations directly with the City Engineer, and helps property owners avoid violations of the ordinance’s prohibition on increased runoff or degraded water quality after construction.
