All storm drains lead to one of our lakes, a creek or the Mississippi River.
When it rains stormwater carries pollutants into our waterways. Pollutants include:
- Grass clippings
- Pesticides
- Motor oil
- Cigarette butts
- Pet waste
- Plastic bottles
- and more
You can help keep our waterways clean by adopting a storm drain and cleaning it regularly.
