Stop the Rain Drain
Irna Landrum | Blog | Sunday September 5 2010
When it rains, it drains. Rainwater from our roofs and gutters drains to local lakes and the Mississippi River via storm drains, picking up pollution along the way. This water is not treated before it goes to lakes and rivers.
You can Stop the Rain Drain. We are asking residents to redirect garage gutter spouts to lawn or garden areas instead of alleys, sidewalks, or driveways. We’ll do it for you for free, or you can do it yourself and get reimbursed for supply costs!
To schedule an appointment, call Elizabeth at Capitol Region Watershed District at 651-644-8888.

Prevent runoff today. Cleaner water tomorrow.
