As it flows, it can pick up debris, motor oil, dirt, chemicals, 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 waterbodies we use for swimming, fishing, and drinking water supply. Remember: Only Rain Down the Storm Drain To keep the stormwater leaving your home or workplace clean, follow these simple guidelines: Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. Repair auto leaks. Pick up pet waste and properly dispose of it. Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on a lawn or other unpaved surface. Sweep up yard debris rather than hosing down areas. Compost or recycle yard waste when possible. Dispose of household hazardous waste, used auto fluids (antifreeze, oil, etc.) and batteries at designated collection or recycling locations. Clean paint brushes in a sink, not outdoors. Prop- erly dispose of excess paints through a household hazardous waste collection program. Sweep up and properly dispose of construction debris like concrete and mortar. By working together, we can improve the quality of our water.
