The Town of Leesburg's Department of Engineering and Public Works is seeking help from all of our citizens in evaluating our Stormwater Management Program.  The attached survey will help Town Staff to identify areas in which the program may need to be restructured in order to more effectively raise awareness of stormwater issues that affect each one of us as citizens in our community.  In addition, we need to know if our current efforts are effectively communicating stormwater pollution information to the public in a usable and productive manner.  Please take a moment to complete this brief survey.  You man also print the survey and bring it to Town Hall, located at 25 West Market Street.

We Sincerely appreciate your time and the valuable input your completion of this survey will provide. The Town of Leesburg is committed to working with the citizens to protect and care for our environment for the safety and benefit of all.
