LFP Attacks Stormwater Pollution

City labels storm drains in effort to raise awareness of pollution

In an effort to curb stormwater pollution, Lake Forest Park has taken on new actions in and around town.

If you came to the Lake Forest Park 50th Anniversary Party on Sunday, June 19th, you might have noticed little white storm drain labels being promoted at the city's booth. This program, which will encourage residents to go out into their neighborhoods and label storm drains, aims to foster awareness that whatever goes down the storm drain goes directly into local water systems.

In addition to storm drain labeling, the city is trying to spread awareness through an even broader campaign. Now seen on the Public Works Fleet, "only rain down the drain" vehicle magnets have been created to remind and encourage us all to keep our water systems clean.
