Why Stormwater Matters
Stormwater is more than just rain—it’s a vital part of keeping our communities and natural environment healthy. When stormwater flows across streets, yards, and open spaces, it can carry litter, chemicals, and other pollutants into storm drains. Because these drains often lead directly to rivers, lakes, and streams, polluted runoff impacts water quality, wildlife habitats, and even the places where we play, swim, and fish.
Protecting stormwater means protecting clean water, safe recreation, and a healthier future for our communities.
