You may have seen this logo stenciled near storm drains but never really thought about what it means. The overall purpose of a storm drain is to prevent street flooding by transferring water into creeks and eventually into the Bay. Ideally, pure, clean rain should travel into a storm drain. But as the rain falls onto streets, parking lots, and lawns, it carries dirt, trash, pesticides and chemicals with it. Stormwater Pollution is a man made problem.
