The City’s Engineering Division is in the process of expanding efforts to both educate the community and increase efforts to protect our natural resources.
Stormwater runoff flows directly to our streams and rivers without any filtration or treatment. This causes terrible things to wash into the storm sewers and drains including:
- Chemicals
- Bacteria
- Pesticides
- Oil
- Litter
- Debris
Polluted stormwater can lead to dead fish, destruction of wildlife habitat, loss of aesthetic value, impaired recreation areas and contaminated water resources. If you have questions regarding this program or would like to report a stormwater problem, please call Sam Troiano at (614) 481-6208.
