Stormwater Management Software
Stormwater asset management software that helps your municipality document MS4 inspections, maintenance, sweeping schedules, and MCM goals, and report on them from one system.
Trusted by communities in 37 U.S. states, from Rockland, ME to Capitola, CA.
■ Sound familiar
Why the permit year is harder than the work
Proper management prevents things like flooding from occurring and keeps pollutants and debris from entering bodies of water. However, this is no small job and requires a lot of ongoing maintenance.
MS4 Permit Support & Stormwater Asset Management for Local Governments
NovoGov helps your municipality maintain stormwater assets, document MS4 inspections, and comply with your state’s MS4 permit requirements. Some governments call this stormwater inspection software or stormwater system software; the job is the same either way.
It is part of our Public Works Operations Management system, so the storm sewer network sits in the same records as the streets it drains and the crews who clear it. With NovoGov, your team can manage inspections, maintenance, and reporting from one system, so you can feel confident you have the next storm under control.
■ See it running
Watch the demo
The Demo video demonstrates how to track and report on MS4 Inspections, Maintenance, Plans and Goals. All stormwater system assets such as catch basins, outfalls, drainage pipes, ditches, culverts and more can be defined and viewed on a map.
■ The map
The whole network, on one map
Our software allows you to view all of your stormwater assets right on a map, so you can easily see where everything is located. Inspections and maintenance of storm structure assets are logged from that same map rather than from a list, and an intuitive interface makes it easy to migrate from paper.
■ Inspections
On a schedule, and finished at the structure
Inspection requests can be created automatically based on a schedule you define. Labor hours and materials used can be added to these inspections along with comments about any repairs that were performed. In the field, crews quickly document MS4 Structure inspections on a mobile device, including pictures.
■ The record, and the report
The history is there when the permit asks for it
Our stormwater software also allows you to view maintenance and inspection history, so you can easily access information on past work and keep track of any changes. MCM plans, goals and outcomes are documented and tracked on the same records, and an Interactive Dashboard shows totals for MS4 Permit.
■ What switching looks like
Going live without missing an inspection
Your permit year does not pause. Nothing gets turned off until the new system is running.
What our clients say
Walt Feurer, Director of Public Works
“NovoGov isn’t limited to just one aspect of our operations; it has become a versatile tool that we rely on for a range of functions. We’ve successfully employed it for managing customer complaints, documenting insurance claims, and tracking bulk water usage. NovoGov’s ability to centralize and organize data has made these processes smoother and more efficient.”
Andy Elder, Street Foreman
“Our Streets team really likes NovoGov, especially because of its mapping capabilities and that I can see all the work orders on my phone while I’m out in the field. Now if a request comes in, I can take snapshots of the work to be done, work in progress, and finalized work, which all help to show proof of the process. The ability to easily document work, locate assets, and manage preventative maintenance of assets on one system is everything to our department. The NovoGov application has saved us a lot of time. Now we have access to documentation in real time vs. lost on a massive worksheet on the office computer.”
Thomas Wilbur, Highway Superintendent
“With NovoGov, it’s easy to collect and view the data in a way that actually makes sense. What used to take 45 minutes now takes less than 2—and it’s accurate, searchable, and right at our fingertips. The only thing limiting us now is time and imagination.”
Thomas Wilbur, Highway Superintendent, Keith County, Nebraska
Travis Sirrine, Highway Superintendent
“The Board of Selectmen was blown away the first time I showed them what we could now report on. They had no idea how many tasks we handled. Now they have data—charts, work orders, asset histories. It changed the conversation.”
Travis Sirrine, Highway Superintendent
David Seugling, Public Works Director
“Switching to NovoGov has been a game changer for our department. It’s streamlined communication, eliminated paperwork, and made it easy for our field crews to update work orders in real time. The system is incredibly flexible and user-friendly — I’d make the switch to NovoGov again in a heartbeat.”
