Storm Water Quality Division’s (SWQ) mission is to empower and provide guidance on minimizing our impact on water quality in order to protect the public health and the environment. SWQ works with City Departments as well as public businesses, agencies, and individuals to foster shared responsibility for protection of our wai (water). The water that enters the City’s drainage system directly impacts the health of our island because it flows untreated to our natural waterways and ocean.
