What
is Stormwater Pollution?
Did you
know that stormwater pollution is one of the leading causes of water
quality problems in the State of Maine?
Stormwater is rain or snowmelt that does not soak into the ground,
and when it runs off our lawns, driveways, parking lots, and roads
it picks up pollutants such as gas and oil, excess fertilizer and
pesticides, as well as pet waste, litter, and even food products
that have been spilled on the ground. Stormwater
carries these pollutants, untreated, into
the Penobscot River. The City of
Brewer is working to prevent stormwater
pollution.
