What is Stormwater? Stormwater is the water that runs down the street when it's raining. Stormwater drains off the road through storm drains or ditches. Water that flows down the street when it's not raining, like when you wash your car or water your lawn, is called urban runoff. After stormwater and urban runoff flow into the storm drain or ditch, it travels directly to the nearest stream, river, or lake so our streets don't flood. That means any pollutant on the street or in urban runoff gets carried to our streams, rivers, and lakes! Yuck!!! Can you imagine swimming in all the gross stuff that's on our streets? Soaps, grass clipping, trash, pet waste, pesticides and fertilizers, dirt, and oil are just some of the pollutants that make our water unhealthy for people and other animals. Please Help Us!! This year, the Town of Orono is sponsoring a cleanup event to encourage friends, neighbors and community organizations to help us clean up the streets and earn a free gift card for lunch. We need your help getting the word out about this fun (and important) event! Enter our Contest! If you win your age group, you will receive a $50 gift card and see your art work posted all over Orono! Prizes are awarded for the following age categories: Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12.
