During the storms this week, you'll notice localized flooding wherever there is a clogged storm drain. Even if you or your neighbors usually keep the storm drain clear, a lot of debris is washing downstream from yards, gutters, and flooded creeks.

Take a few minutes when it's not raining and clear your neighborhood storm drain for the next round.

Those beautiful fall leaves can make a real mess of things if they are blown or otherwise end up in the gutters and storm drains. When the leaves get wet they form a mat that doesn't let water get through, so during the next storm, there will likely be localized flooding and the water will be held on the street where it picks up all kinds of pollutants to carry with it when it finally flows-- untreated and unfiltered-- down the storm drain to our rivers, streams, and lakes.

Even a little rainfall adds up by the time it gets to our neighborhood storm drains! When added to fallen leaves, grass clippings, trash, and other debris, rain degrades water quality and adds to localized flooding.

Rake up leaves and grass clippings; and pick up trash other yard waste!

🍂 Rake and mulch your leaves instead of blowing them into the street, where they collect around storm drains. It keeps nutrient pollution out of our waterbodies -- and water from clogged, flooded out of your basement during the next big storm!

if you're out running errands today, take a minute to stop to take a look at your neighborhood storm drain. If it's covered in leaves or other debris, clear them away. Clean storm drains will prevent flooded roads and basements the next time it rains. Help keep stormwater clean.

While we still have some sunny weather, why not take the opportunity to sweep up leaves and pick up litter when you see it? Leaves clog storm drains and every piece of trash adds to the pollution of our waterways.

It's time to start thinking about what to do with fallen leaves. Blowing or sweeping leaves and other yard debris into the street is a bad for our local waterways and can clog storm drains, which leads to localized flooding and polluted streams, rivers, and lakes. Mulch or bag and trash leaves and lawn clippings!
