In this episode of Roses & Weeds, we highlight a critical but often overlooked part of city planning and public safety: stormwater, drainage and erosion control. These systems play a vital role in protecting homes, roads and the environment — yet they often go unnoticed until problems arise.

City of Tyler Development Services Engineering Manager Darrel Kotzur and Stormwater Management and Environmental Compliance Engineer Paul Neuhaus join the conversation to explain how these systems work, why they matter and what the City is doing to address related challenges. From infrastructure protection and flood prevention to erosion management and environmental stewardship, they provide a comprehensive look at the City's ongoing efforts.

Tune in to learn how the City is managing stormwater — and why it matters to everyone in our community.
