To prevent pollutants from entering the surrounding waterways Capital Region Water implemented an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program This program includes training components for employees of CRW and proper O&M of facilities. CRW focuses on preventing pollution before it happens at all the company-owned facilities and green stormwater infrastructure.  Municipal activities such as winter road maintenance, minor road repairs, and other infrastructure work, automobile fleet maintenance, landscaping and park maintenance, and building maintenance can release pollutants into MS4s that ultimately discharge to nearby waterbodies. Municipal facilities can also be sources of stormwater pollutants if BMPs are not in place to contain spills, manage trash, and handle non-stormwater discharges. Sweeping parking lots, streets, and cleaning storm drains can prevent pollutants at the source from entering nearby waterways.
