May 31st
Yaupon Ranch Subdivision
from 9 am to 1 pm!
Water that flows into our storm water drainage
system, along with other substances it collects,
goes directly into our bayous, rivers, and
ultimately into Galveston Bay. Unlike sewage,
storm water receives no treatment.
Much of the pollution in area creeks and
bayous comes from common, every-day
materials, like household chemicals, fertilizers,
pesticides, gasoline, used motor oil and
antifreeze and litter. These substances run off
into storm drain inlets by rainwater from our
streets, yards, driveways and parking lots.
SLH, in conjunction with the Harris
County Watershed Protection Group is
planning to mark storm drains and has
committed to the next 12 months!
Let's see how many drains we can
mark!
This is a wonderful project for Girl
Scouts, Boy Scouts, High-School Clubs
and Organizations as well as families.
If you are interested in joining this
campaign, please fill out the form to the
right.
