We are calling for volunteers to help educate our citizens.  Rain water runs off the landscape from roads, driveways, lawns, rooftops and parking lots is carrying pollution into our water.  In addition, any litter on our roads will also wash into our streams through the storm drain system.  To emphasize the connection between runoff and water pollution we need your help marking storm drains around Cobb County.

In Cobb County, all stormdrains lead to surface water, not a treatment plant.  It's very important for everyone to know that pouring oil, paint, or any other substance down a storm drain is illegal.  Only rainwater should be in the stormdrain system.  Leaves and grass clippings also do not belong in the storm drain.  They can cause flooding and pollution. 

Help educate the community by marking the storm drains in your area.  Cobb County Water System will provide marking kits upon request.  The kits include aluminum markers, adhesive glue, gloves, garbage bags, and education materials.  Contact us for assistance.
