Stormwater Pollution Prevention Tips
Did you know that excess rainwater , or stormwater , runs over impervious surfaces and picks up pollutants such as motor oil , fertilizers , pesticides , fertilizers , pet waste , litter and other debris ? These stormwater pollutants are washed down the City ’ s storm drainage system and discharged into our local streams , creeks , rivers and lakes .
Stormwater pollutants can have a negative effect on our local waterways and drinking water resources .
