Storm-Drain Stenciling, Seattle Public Utilities

www.seattle.gov/util/Services/Drainage_&_Sewer/Get_Involved/index.asp

Let your neighbors know how natural waterways and marine species can be harmed by storm water runoff. You can help by labeling storm drains in the neighborhood around your school or home. By painting a warning next to a street’s storm drain, you will educate others about where street waste flows – into local natural waterways. Apply to stencil your storm drains with Seattle Public Utilities, who will show you where and how stenciling should be done, as well as the materials needed. Visit the Seattle Public Utilities website for this information and other volunteer activities.
