Stormwater runoff is rainwater that flows over land and directly into local creeks and larger waterways. Stormwater runoff is NOT TREATED and is the #1 source of surface water pollution.
Stormwater pollution finds its way into where we fish, where we swim, and what we drink. Everything that goes into our storm drainage system - pet waste, grass clippings, fertilizer, pesticides, litter, heavy metals, etc. - makes its way straight to waterways like creeks, rivers, and oceans. Stormwater pollution is our biggest source of water pollution. It all adds up. It all comes back.
You're the solution, now that you know where it goes!
