Storm Drains are for storm water not for
disposal

• The rain water from a storm goes through a system
  of connections to the Bay.
• This water does not go through a treatment plant
  so anything in the storm drain goes into our
  natural resources.
• Nothing, simply nothing, should go into the storm
  drains, except natural rain water.
• The posted signs No dumping - Drains to Bay are
  intended to serve as a constant reminder to
  restrict any discharge into drain

Sanitary Sewer Districts Restrict the Disposal of
Chemicals

• Every sewer district has strict limits as to what
  can be discharged and they monitor to confirm
  these limits are being maintained.
• Treatment plants were generally constructed for
  household material and strong chemicals can
  destroy the system.
• The only material that can be disposed of down
  the drain is one that has been approved by your
  department.
