BE THE SOLUTION TOSTORMWATER POLLUTION
What is stormwater runoff?
Stormwater runoff is generated when rain fl ows over areas such as sidewalks, roads, and parking lots, where rainfall does not soak into the ground.
What is stormwater pollution?
Stormwater pollution may occur when stormwater runoff picks up contaminants - such as chemicals, automobile fl uids, and pet wastes, from the ground and carries them untreated to our local rivers, washes and retention basins through our storm drain system.
What is the difference between the sanitary sewer and the storm drains?
• Phoenix has two separate sewer systems, thesanitary sewer and the storm drain.
• The sanitary sewer is underground and carrieswaste from toilets and sinks to a wastewater treatmentplant.Thewastewateristhentreatedbefore being discharged to the Salt River or reused for energy production, crops and wetlands.
• The storm drains carry untreated stormwater runoff to local parks, rivers and washes.
Only Rain in the Storm Drain!
