Can stormwater pollution be prevented?
A. – Stormwater pollution can be prevented by reducing the amount of polluted water that enters the storm drain system. Adopting good habits such as keeping motor vehicles free of leaks; using, storing and disposing of home and garden products properly, sweeping driveways instead of hosing them clean, and using public transportation go a long way toward reducing stormwater pollution.
