Water pollution happens when stormwater picks up dirt, oil, fertilizer, and other litter. As the water flows through streets when it rains - this pollution goes right to storm drains that lead to creeks, streams, and rivers. The water is not treated like drinking water and can impact the quality of our waterways.
