Storm drains play an important role in flood prevention and protection of our lakes, rivers, and streams. They help move storm-water runoff from roofs, driveways, streets and other hard surfaces to underground pipes or storm sewers that eventually make their way to our lakes, rivers, and streams. Unfortunately, that runoff also carries pollutants, trash, leaves and other debris with it to our waters. Keeping storm drains and the area around them lean can help protect our waters. Join this program and Adopt-A-Storm Drain today!

Wishing all a safe and happy 4th of July! Please note a few reminders due to the Monday holiday.
