Adopt A Drain

Make a Difference in Your Neighborhood

Adopting a neighborhood storm drain is easy and can help reduce street flooding and prevent pollution. Most storm drains flow unfiltered into local streams and rivers, and harmful pollution from pet waste, decomposing leaves, and trash can harm wildlife like fish and frogs. By adopting a storm drain and spending just 15 minutes a month cleaning around it, you can make a big difference.

Don't Flush Wipes

Keep Trash Out of the Sewer

The City’s sewer system is not designed to transport or break down trash. Sewers are designed to transport organic waste using a minimal amount of water. Small objects like plastic bags, hygiene products, and trash can lead to expensive problems like sewer backups and damaged pipes.
