Stormwater Inlet Marking Program
Only Rain Down the Drain!
Stormwater systems in Collier County are not connected to wastewater treatment plants. Rainfall from neighborhood storm drains flows directly into lakes and eventually into canals and estuaries. Thus, it is important to caution people that pollutants, even yard clippings, should not enter the stormwater collection system. The inlet marking program supplies caution plaques, materials to affix them, and instructions to volunteers willing to help. This is a great project for youth and civic groups. Neighborhoods and HOAs can benefit by slowing the natural aging process of their ponds, which in turn reduces long-term operating costs.
