Storm drains keep our streets from flooding by collecting water that
rushes down the street when it rains. All this water goes through pipes that
lead out to creeks, lakes, streams and

pesticides, toxic chemicals, litter or manure will flow out into our waterways.
We need to reduce the amount of pollution that gets into our storm drains.
