Why is it important to be aware of where stormwater goes?
Every time it rains, water washes over our streets, driveways, and yards picking up pollutants along the way. Motor oil from cars, yard clippings, pet waste, litter, lawn chemicals including fertilizer are among some of the pollutants that get picked up. All of this eventually washes into our storm drains. All that eventually washes from the storm drains into the New River.
