What you can do

Polluted runoff can be a serious health risk and significant environmental threat to our rivers, lakes and streams. Each time it rains, pollutants such as oil, antifreeze, fertilizer, pesticides, soap and animal waste are washed into storm drains and ditches, which typically drain directly to a local water body, or into the ground without treatment.

Preventing Water Pollution

Reducing pollutants before they get picked up by stormwater is one of the best ways to prevent water pollution. You are the solution to cleaning up our streams, rivers, lakes and Puget Sound.
