What is storm drain labeling?
Storm drain labeling involves marking storm drain openings with messages reminding citizens not to dump pollutants down the drains. Drain messages are usually a simple phrase to remind passersby that the storm drains connect to local waterbodies and that dumping in drains pollutes these waters. Sometimes, the drains specify the body of water where drain water eventually flows. Common messages include “No Dumping. Drains to Water Source,” “Drains to River,” and “You Dump it, You Drink it. No Waste Here.” UF storm drain labels have a simple message: “Keep it Clean.” Storm labels most commonly appear in two forms: stenciled painted messages, or permanent signs of aluminum, ceramic, plastic or other durable materials. Each form of labeling has its own advantages and disadvantages, but both convey the same thought.
