Help us spread the word - Only rain goes down the storm drain
Updated: Jun 9, 2022
Markers remind residents to keep trash – like oil, paint, and pet waste – out of storm drains. We'll provide everything you need to get started!
Did you know - the drains that run along our curbs collect rainwater? This water flows from the street, to storm drains, and then to the nearest stream or lake.
As water moves along the ground, it can pick up pollution - like oil, grease, pet waste, and trash. It's important to make sure that only rain goes down the drain so that waterways don't become polluted.
Leaving a message on your neighborhood storm drain will remind others to avoid dumping harmful items into the drain. You'll help reduce water pollution and protect the environment, too.
