Make Sure That Only Rain Goes Into The Storm Drain

The storm sewer system was designed to remove rainwater quickly for city streets to prevent flooding our yards and roadways.  Anything that goes into a storm drain goes directly through a large pipe to the closest creek or stream.  So keep yard waste, used motor oil, pet waste, litter, or any soap or chemical from entering the storm drain system.
