Have some storm drains around town caught your eye? There are a few with a pop of color and a lot of fun details on them. You'll see bright colors, raindrops, fish, flowers, the sun, buildings, and other elements that represent the environment and community.

The Project

We partnered with local artist, Sarahlaine Calva, to paint five storm drains. Their purpose is to bring more awareness to the impacts water pollution can have on waterways in our area. It's important that only rain goes down drains – not trash and other litter.
