Learning about storm water - where it flows, how it becomes polluted, and how to prevent storm water pollution - is fundamental to understanding our local water resources.

Let us know how we can help. City staff may be available to offer presentations in classrooms or at community events. Teacher/Scout Leader workshops are available throughout the year. Check our calendar for details.
