STORMWATER
Controlling Stormwater PollutionStormwater is an environmental concern because, depending upon its source and path, it can contain or pick up contaminants which are then transferred to the surface or ground water to which it drains. Certain contaminants can degrade the quality of the surface water so much that the health of plants and animals within and surrounding the water body are affected. You can help area lakes and rivers for as long as you own your home. Stormwater runoff does not go to a wastewater treatment plant. It flows directly into our lakes and rivers. There are many ways you can reduce polluted runoff.
For more information you can visit the MPCA's Stormwater website at www.pca.state.mn.us/water/stormwater/index.html or call the MPCA Customer Assistance Center at (651) 297-2274 or (800) 646-6247.
