đź’§ Direct water where it can soak in!

Downspouts that empty onto driveways, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces can send stormwater—and the pollutants it picks up—toward storm drains and local waterways.

Direct downspouts onto lawns, gardens, rain barrels, or other permeable areas whenever possible. A simple change at home can help reduce runoff and protect water quality. 🌧️🌱

Some household products require more than a trip to the trash can. Paint, cleaners, pesticides, automotive fluids, and other household chemicals can contaminate local waterways when they are poured down drains, dumped outside, or disposed of improperly.

Help protect water quality by storing these materials safely and bringing them to an appropriate Household Hazardous Waste collection program for disposal.

A little care at home can go a long way toward keeping pollutants out of our stormwater system and local waterways.

Construction sites can expose loose soil that may be carried away by rain and runoff. Using erosion controls such as silt fencing helps keep sediment on-site and prevents it from entering storm drains, streams, and other local waterways.

Properly installed and maintained erosion controls are an important part of protecting water quality throughout construction. Learn more at ThinkBlueConnecticutRiver.org.

Keeping dumpster lids closed is a simple step businesses can take to help protect local water quality. When dumpsters are left open, rain can mix with trash, food waste, and other materials, creating polluted runoff that may reach nearby storm drains.

Keep lids securely closed, prevent overfilling, and clean up spills around waste storage areas to help keep pollutants out of local rivers and streams.

Picking up after your pet is more than a neighborhood courtesy—it helps protect water quality. Pet waste left on lawns, sidewalks, or other outdoor areas can be carried by rain into storm drains, bringing bacteria and excess nutrients into local rivers and streams.

Bring a bag on every walk, scoop the waste, and dispose of it properly. A simple cleanup helps keep our communities and waterways cleaner.

A small vehicle leak can create a much bigger problem once it reaches the street. Oil, antifreeze, and other automotive fluids can be carried by rain into storm drains and eventually reach local rivers and streams.

Check your vehicle regularly for leaks, make repairs promptly, and clean up spills properly. A little routine maintenance can go a long way toward protecting water quality.

Litter doesn’t always stay where it’s dropped. Rain and wind can carry bottles, bags, wrappers, and other trash into storm drains, where it can eventually reach local rivers and streams.

Help stop pollution before it flows downstream. Dispose of trash properly, secure loose waste, and pick up litter when you see it. Small actions can make a big difference in keeping our communities and waterways clean.

Fallen leaves may be natural, but they can still create problems when they end up in the street. During rainstorms, leaves and other yard waste can wash into storm drains, causing clogs and adding excess nutrients to local waterways.

Keep leaves off streets and away from storm drains by collecting, composting, or disposing of them properly. A little cleanup can go a long way toward protecting our stormwater systems and local water quality.
