Never put anything down the storm drain.

Only rain to the drain! Anything that enters our storm drains ends up directly in the creek.

 

Only Rain to the Drain!

The daily activities of all of us has the potential to affect water quality if we don’t make good choices.

Stormdrains are connected directly to our creeks. So anything that ends up on the driveway, alley, roof or sidewalk eventually will be carried by rain water to a creek.

Imagine washing your car or rinsing a paint brush in the middle of Boulder Creek, Coal Creek or St. Vrain Creek. That is what happens when you wash anything on a paved surface.

Please think of your activities as they relate to:

  • vehicle maintenance and washing
  • yard maintenance
  • reporting spills
  • storage of materials outside
  • construction sites

Be sure not to allow anything but rain water to enter our storm drainage system.
