"Make Your Mark" Storm Drain Marking Project
*What: *Help keep Tacoma’s waterways clean by volunteering to glue storm
drain markers to curbs with the “No Dumping, Drains to Puget Sound”
message.
When: Saturday, August 22nd, 2015
Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM, with lunch to follow
*Where: *Meet at Wapato Lake Park, at the parking lot on South 72nd Street
and Ainsworth Avenue next to the police station. From I-5 take exit 129
toward South 72nd Street, turn right on South 72nd Street and continue
straight, the park will be on the left. See healthybay.org for more
details.
Why: Did you know the water that flows down storm drains empties
directly into our rivers, lakes and Puget Sound? This water is not
treated, allowing pollutants from streets to be washed into the waterways
where we swim, fish, and boat, and where salmon live. Everyone needs to
know not to wash anything down the storm drains.
Please pre-register by August 20th. Contact Jeanine Riss at
253-383-2429 or jriss@healthybay.org
This project is sponsored by Citizens for a Healthy Bay and the City of
Tacoma.
