Storm Drains Connect Streets to Creeks

When rain falls and washes into the drain, it carries pollution on streets and sidewalks with it. The water flows directly to creeks, wetland and the Bay. Storm drains do not connect to the “sewer” or water treatment plant, like many people believe.

Litter, car wash water and pet waste are just a few things that hurt wildlife and ruin our area’s natural beauty if we don’t keep them off streets and out of storm drains. We’d love your help keeping our creeks and the Bay clean.
