Adopt a Drain

SIGN UP to adopt a storm drain in your neighborhood and keep it clear of leaves, grass clippings, trash, and debris. This improves water quality. It takes approximately 15 minutes, twice a month. "Natural" debris - grass clippings, leaves, and pet waste - become pollution when they hit water. They feed algae, causing water to become green. This impacts water quality, and harms beneficial vegetation, wildlife and recreational activities. 

Storm drains flow directly to local lakes, rivers, and wetlands, acting as a conduit for trash and organic pollutants. Adopt-a-Drain asks residents to adopt a storm drain and keep it clear of leaves, trash and other debris to reduce water pollution.
