Stormwater Infrastructure Grades (Quality Rankings)

Full 50‑state Stormwater Infrastructure Tier System, built in the exact same tier design structure you use for Roads, Bridges, Transit, Energy, Drinking Water, Wastewater, Schools, and Parks.

Stormwater grades are based on:

  • Age + condition of storm drains

  • Flood control systems

  • Green infrastructure adoption

  • Urban runoff management

  • State + local funding

  • Climate resilience

Your standardized tier model stays the same:

C+ / C = Top Tier C‑ = Middle Tier D+ = Lower Tier D = Bottom Tier
