National Water Quality Month: How Stormwater Plays a Role in Our Waterways

August is National Water Quality Month, and protecting our local water resources starts right at the downspout.

Unlike household wastewater, stormwater runoff doesn’t pass through a treatment plant before reaching our waterways. All of the fertilizers, oil, sediment, and debris flows directly into local retention ponds, lakes, and rivers.

Proper stormwater management and well-maintained aquatic systems help filter these pollutants out.
