MUNICIPALITIES
Clean Streets. Cleaner Waters. Smarter Stormwater Funding.
Sweeper Summit 2026, November 3–4, 2026 at La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio — where MS4 permit holders, public works officials, and stormwater leaders connect with the power sweeping industry.
In Partnership with
Uniting the Street Sweeping Industry and Stormwater Community
Advancing Clean Streets = Cleaner Waters
Bringing the industries together protects water, creates new funding opportunities, expands the market, and positions sweeping as a proven environmental solution.
Street sweepers pick up dirt, trash, leaves, oil, and other pollution before rain washes it into storm drains. Those storm drains lead to rivers, lakes, and streams. When we clean the streets, we help keep our water clean.
WHY IS THE SWEEPER SUMMIT THE PLACE TO HOST THESE RELATIONSHIPS FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
Clean water and environmental regulations continue to become more stringent and enforced.
Municipalities will receive ongoing education to better understand emerging requirements, compliance standards, and funding opportunities.
Building strong relationships between local municipalities and Sweeper industry long term contractor creates valuable long-term opportunities.
Municipal attendees receive important industry education, PDH hours, and information on initiatives such as CS=CW and MS4 funding opportunities.

Sweeper Summit is the premier, educational, must-attend event for public works and storm water/environmental professionals together with leadership and innovators in the sweeping industry. Specific to the Summit location this year, Texas already has more than 140 stormwater or drainage utilities in place, and numerous additional communities are actively developing stormwater utility funding models. Texas MS4 and public works leaders are looking for dedicated, reliable funding tools to address drainage, flooding, infrastructure, MS4 compliance, and water-quality needs. That is exactly why Sweeper Summit 2026 matters.
For too long, street sweeping has been viewed mainly as a public works operation — something paid for out of the operations budget because streets need to look clean. That is still true, but it is only part of the story. The larger opportunity is education: helping MS4 permit holders, public works officials, stormwater managers, and municipal leaders understand that street sweeping can also be positioned as a water-quality tool.
Street sweeping is not just an operational expense. It is a visible, measurable, and cost-effective stormwater BMP.
For MS4 Permit Holders & Public Works Leaders
- Learn how street sweeping supports pollution prevention and good housekeeping.
- Understand how sweeping can reduce sediment, trash, debris, metals, nutrients, and other pollutants before they reach storm drains.
- Explore how stormwater utility dollars may support eligible sweeping activities tied to water-quality outcomes.
- Improve MS4 documentation, mapping, route records, and performance tracking.
- See equipment, technology, automation, electrification, and data tools firsthand.
- Connect with manufacturers, contractors, national stormwater leaders, and peer communities.
- Help shape the national conversation around street sweeping as a measurable BMP.
At the center of that alignment is the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance (NMSA). NMSA brings national stormwater credibility, MS4 leadership, and a clear understanding of what municipal stormwater programs need: practical tools, defensible data, cost-effective practices, and better ways to meet permit requirements without stretching local budgets past the breaking point.
NMSA's Clean Streets = Cleaner Waters Initiative is designed to elevate street sweeping within the stormwater sector and help communities better understand how sweeping can reduce stormwater pollution delivery to downstream waters.
