Causes and Consequences of Urban Runoff
lkeane
After it rains, streets look cleaner and that's a problem. Stormwater rushing over paved surfaces picks up everything and then flows directly - or via storms drains - into streams, lakes and ultimately to the ocean.

Household Grease Alert!

     Nearly 25 percent of sewer  line breaks are caused by grease from household cooking. Grease poured down the kitchen drain enters and clogs sewer pipes between your home and the main line in the street. Sewer line breaks often permit polluted material to enter the storm drain system where it flows into our streams, lakes and oceans.

Please place all household grease in the trash, where it will be taken to a disposal station that is equiped to contain grease.
