Why Stormwater Management Matters in Tampa

In a region with sandy soils, flat terrain, and rapid coastal development, mismanaged stormwater can lead to:

  • Street and neighborhood flooding in urban areas like South Tampa and downtown St. Petersburg

  • Erosion and sedimentation in waterways such as the Hillsborough River and Alafia River

  • Non-compliance with local stormwater ordinances and SWFWMD (Southwest Florida Water Management District) mandates

  • Increased flood risks during hurricanes and tropical storms, where resilient stormwater systems are essential for protecting property and public safety

Local regulations — including those set by SWFWMD and county stormwater programs in Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco — require property owners to implement and maintain Best Management Practices (BMPs). TIGRIS helps you meet and exceed these standards with ease, while also building resiliency against Florida’s severe weather events.
