STORM WATER

Storm Water Pollution Solutions
Stormwater runoff is precipitation from rain or snowmelt that flows over the ground. As it flows, it can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, and other pollutants and deposit them into a storm sewer system or waterbody.

Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into the waterboides we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water.

REMEMBER: ONLY RAIN DOWN THE DRAIN
