Did you know that you can prevent water pollution?

All water that flows into a storm drain inlet discharges into a local waterway untreated.

Pollution prevention starts in the home. You can make a difference by picking up your dog’s waste and applying fertilizer to your lawn sparingly. Leaves getting caught in storm drains can cause flooding. You can prevent this by collecting leaves and putting them in your yard waste bin or taking them to the Recycle Center.

Washing your car at the carwash or on a grassy area prevents soapy, dirty water from flowing into the street and eventually into the storm drains, lakes, rivers and other waterways.

You can prevent water pollution and help keep our streams and rivers clean!

Stormwater is any precipitation that collects in a natural or constructed storage or transport system following a storm event.
