Marking storm drains in Superior with the message - Do Not Dump Drains to Stream - helps remind people to not dump anything down storm drains. For most storm drains in Superior the contents of the pipes go directly to a stream and do not go to the Wastewater Treatment Plant. We will supply the paint and stencil and if you could help for one hour starting at 6 p.m. at Carl Gallo Park, 510 26th Ave. E. we would like to mark about 30 drains in the vicinity. Please RSVP by 4 p.m. on Tuesday if you plan on attending. 715/394-0392. The day temperature is listed as 90 degrees but maybe in the evening it will be cooler. We are getting a bit of hot summer here at the end of summer. Maybe a swim would be a good thing today after helping.
We'd appreciate your help and your connection to preventing pollution in Lake Superior. Every time it rains other materials such as pet waste, lawn fertilizers, and litter can also be carried over to a drain and head down it. Helping mark drains, picking up pet waste, keeping storm drains clear, fixing leaks in your car - these are just some of the many ways to help make a difference. Thank you.
