STORM WATER
What is storm water? Storm water originates from rainfall and other precipitation that runs off of surfaces all over the Borough-rooftops, streets, lawns, etc. Storm water makes its way into natural water sources and takes everything from the Borough surfaces with it into these areas. Learn more on our stormwater page.
CAR WASH
When you wash your car on a compacted surface, the run-off containing soap, heavy metals, road grime, greases and oils can enter the storm drains. Unlike sanitary drains, storm water drains run directly into creeks, ponds and lakes. Use a commercial car wash facility or find a grassy area at home to soak up the run-off. Protect our area’s natural water resources!
