Dog poop,
lawn chemicals,
and nasty spills.
These are only
a few of the things
that stormwater
picks up and mixes
with as it rushes
over the pavement
in our driveways,
sidewalks, and
streets. Storm
drains rush all
this polluted water
directly to the
nearest stream,
pond, or bay. No
filters. No treatment.
So the pollutants that stormwater
carries wind up
in the water we
drink, fish, and
swim. And that’s pretty scary.
The good news is,
there’s
a lot we can do to
keep that water
clean.
