Why is Storm Drain Marking Important
Our storm water infrastructure helps transport rain water to our streams, lakes, ponds, and rivers. When anything other than storm water enters these systems it can cause contamination of our waterways and/or clogs that could result in flooding. It is important that citizens know only rain belongs in the storm drain. That is why York County started the Storm Drain Marking program.
Fact: Stormwater is not treated! That means that whatever enters our storm drains and/or drainage ditches is not filtered and and ends up in our waterways.
