Storm Drain Stenciling Helpers Wanted

Volunteers are wanted to help stencil local storm drains in Superior

The City of Superior would appreciate it if local organizations would help with stenciling storm drains.  Environmental Services Division will provide all the supplies needed to mark the drains with the message “Do Not Dump  - Drains to Stream. “   Two general public times are being announced but we can also work with groups to fit a time that works for them.   By having only rain and melting go down storm drains our local streams and Lake Superior will be cleaner.

 

The public times include

 Thursday, June 13 at 9 AM.  Meeting place is Fairlawn Mansion parking lot.

Thursday, July 18 at 1 PM at Central Park pavilion on the west side.

 

The stenciling session duration will be for about an hour and a half.  Individuals, families, youth groups, adult groups, seniors, church groups, work place teams, etc are welcome.   Please RSVP so that we can prepare the materials needed.  Children must be 9 years old.    We would like to mark 200 drains this summer and early fall.  Storm drain stenciling can only be done during dry weather. By having only rain and snow melt go down storm drains our local streams and Lake Superior will be cleaner.
