When It Rains, It Drains — Straight to Our Creeks

You can help prevent stormwater pollution.

Heavy rains like the ones we’ve been experiencing recently can wash pollutants from our streets into storm drains, which flow directly, untreated, into our local creeks.

Consider adopting the storm drain near your home and keeping it clear of leaves, trash, and debris. Just a few minutes can help prevent localized flooding and protect our waterways.

Learn more about stormwater pollution prevention at CleanCreeks.org.
