Did you know that the storm drains on your street often lead directly to our local waterways? When litter and leaves wash into those drains, they can pollute our water and contribute to street flooding during heavy 🌧️ rain.

You can help care for your local storm drain by joining the Adopt Your Drain program and adopting a storm drain near you! Learn more and get started: ➡️ https://www.swwtwater.org/adopt-your-drain

By adopting your local storm drain, you’re taking a step to protect our watersheds and keep our community clean.
