When rain and snowmelt flow over rooftops, streets, sidewalks and lawns, the water can pick up pollutants along the way before entering the storm sewer system. Effective stormwater management helps reduce flooding, prevent pollution, and protect the health of our local ecosystems. Through responsible stormwater practices, residents and businesses can help keep our water clean!
