Did you know that storm drains lead directly to our local streams, rivers, and waterways? Help us keep East Washington’s water clean by ensuring only rain goes down the drain! Here’s how you can do your part:
- Avoid dumping chemicals or waste into storm drains. This includes motor oil, paints, and other hazardous materials.
- Pick up after your pets to prevent harmful bacteria from entering our water supply.
- Use fertilizers and pesticides sparingly and follow the recommended guidelines to prevent runoff.
- Keep leaves, grass clippings, and debris out of storm drains to reduce clogging and pollution.
Together, we can protect our local environment and ensure cleaner water for everyone. Let’s keep our stormwater clean—because in East Washington, only rain belongs down the drain!
