Storm Drain Marking
This program started in 1994 in Tulsa and has expanded to
Glenpool, Owasso, and Sand Springs. Originally, teams of volunteers
stenciled the message "Dump No Waste - Drains to River" on storm
drains. Now curb markers with the message "No Dumping - Keep Our
Water Clean" are glued next to the storm drains. The curb markers
last longer than the painted stencils. The "No Dumping" message
reminds us to protect our local streams and rivers from non-point
source pollutants. In addition to marking the curbs, volunteers
distribute literature in the neighborhood that explains the storm
drain marking program and, thus, improves water quality awareness.

Thumb at (918) 280-1595.
