November Pledge-of-the-Month:
Adopt a Storm Drain

This month you can protect our waterways by adopting a storm drain.

Older cities typically use combined sewer overflow systems which connect storm drains and the sanitary sewer system to the wastewater treatment facility. In most cases, stormwater drains flow directly into our waterways without treatment (Clear Choices Clean Water). Both systems have negatives such as downstream flooding and water pollution. Help protect our water by adopting a storm drain and clearing it of leaves and debris.

  • Contact your local government office to inquire about an official program and storm drain markers
  • Take the CCCW Pledge
