home or at your neighborhood park please let me know. I would love the
opportunity to share information with neighbors and hear what you have to say.

 Adopt-A- Drain
Program
The City of Riverside is partnering with residents and encouraging
their participation in the newly launched Adopt-A-Drain Program. Riverside
currently has 4,800 storm drains. Through the Adopt-A- Drain Program volunteers
agree to remove debris that can block water from entering the drain or to call
311 to ask for assistance. Volunteers will NOT
be asked or permitted to enter the storm drain at any time. To adopt a drain
please visit www.adoptadrainriverside.com to select
drain and then contact the City’s 311 system to get a free tool kit.
For
additional information please visit: http://riversideca.gov/publicworks/stormwater/adopt-a-drain.asp
or www.adoptadrainriverside.com.
Sandbag Filling
Stations
In
anticipation of continuous and extended heavy rainfall, the City of Riverside provides sandbag pick-up sites throughout the winter months. Sand and sandbags are
available to property owners and local businesses on a self-serve basis, limit
20. Please see table below for a list of locations.
