In Columbia, runoff that pours into a storm drain flows directly into one of our waterways.
The water runoff carries pollutants from our yards and streets into our streams, lakes and groundwater.

If you have an irrigation system, check it before use to make sure it wasnโt damaged by frost or freezing. An irrigation system that has a leak 1/32nd of an inch in diameter (about the thickness of a dime) can waste about 6,300 gallons of water per month.
