Stormwater runoff is rain or snowmelt that flows over the
ground. 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.
