Environmental Services is updating its Sewer and Drainage Facilities Design Manual (SDFDM). The proposed updates to the manual will improve clarity, formalize and update technical requirements, eliminate obsolete information, and remove any discrepancies between the SDFDM and the City's Stormwater Management Manual (SWMM). In addition, design and formatting changes to the revised SDFDM will better connect users with web-based resources.

What is changing?

The materials posted here will provide you with an overview of the changes:

• Proposed 2020 SDFDM
• Fact sheet on proposed updates
• 2007-2010 SDFDM and 2020 SDFDM crosswalk

How can I learn more about the proposed changes?

Environmental Services held information sessions in August on key changes and major improvements to the SDFDM. You can view the materials from those presentations here.
