Help keep the water clean. Stormwater runoff from streets, sidewalks, and driveways flows directly into storm drains and ditches to streams, wetlands, and lakes. This runoff washes pollutants into surface waters, harming water quality and fish habitat.
Everyday activities can help preserve the health and well-being of nearby waters like the Cedar River. Below are some short videos containing tips to help make sure polluted stormwater runoff does not start with you.
