Storm Drain Stenciling Program Information
Storm drains were designed to be the fastest and most efficient way of getting rainwater off streets and parking lots. Unfortunately, the water that flows into storm drains carries trash and sediment, fertilizers, household cleaners, gasoline and motor oil. All of these pollutants are dumped directly into San Diego's rivers, bays and ocean - untreated! This means that bacteria, hazardous wastes, and other pollutants enter our natural waterways.
