Many city streets have storm drains to prevent the streets from flooding during a rain. It’s important to prevent pollution from washing down the storm drains, because water that goes down storm drains –

• Is not cleaned or filtered; it goes directly into our creeks

• Goes into our houses for drinking and cooking

• Can attract alligators and piranhas if it is polluted

• Flows under our city streets and could leak into our houses
