WHY IT MATTERS
Runoff from rain and snow melt carries pollutants from driveways, sidewalks, and roadways to the storm drain system, which is connected to groundwater or surface waters like the Boise River. Pollutants can harm downstream water quality and aquatic habitat or clog the storm drain system causing localized flooding of the street.
