Why Stormwater Pollution?

In 2003 the United States Environmental Protection Agency required thousands of cities, towns and counties across the United States to develop a program to address stormwater pollution. There are many different elements that can contribute to stormwater pollution. Follow the link below for an overview of this program.

Be the solution to Stormwater Pollution

Stormwater can pick up debris, chemicals, dirt, and otherpollutants and flow into a storm sewer system or directly to a lake, stream, river, wetland, or coastal water. Anything that enters a storm sewer system is discharged untreated into
the waterbodies we use for swimming, fishing, and providing drinking water. We all are the solution to stormwater pollution.

Lawn and Garden Tips

Lawn and garden activities can result in contamination of storm water through pesticide, soil, and fertilizer runoff. Proper landscape management, however, can effectively reduce water use and contaminant runoff and enhance the aesthetics of a property.
