Educating Our Young Citizens

During the week of November 28, 2011 our Stormwater Technician Emily Harrison visited the 5th grade classrooms at Morgan and Clemmons Elementary to talk to the students and educate them about the importance of Stormwater Runoff.  Along with an oral presentation, she also had a demo drop inlet to show the students what goes down the storm drain comes out unaffected.  She took the students outside to show the different stormwater practices that are around them every day.

The Piedmont Triad Water Quality Partnership is a collaboration of sixteen local governments in the Piedmont Triad Region of North Carolina, including the Village of Clemmons, working together to educate residents about stormwater and water quality issues, including non-point source pollution, regulations, and best management practices.  To find out what the partnership is up to, check out http://www.piedmontwaterquality.org/.

Storm Drain Marking Program          

Help curb pollution in Clemmons!                                           
Volunteers needed to mark storm drains in neighborhoods.

The Village of Clemmons' storm drain marking program is a way for volunteers to get involved in improving the water quality of the village's streams and lakes.  Markers are placed on storm drains to remind citizens to not dump pollutants into the drains.  Informational doorhangers will be distributed to nearby residents during the storm drain marking event.  

It is a common misunderstanding that stormwater is treated before it reaches our waterways.  Many residents pour oil, paint, cigarette butts, yard waste and other pollutants right into the storm drains because they think the water gets cleaned before it reaches the Yadkin River.  That is not how it works and stormwater pollution can seriously impact water quality in Clemmons.

 


 

 

Volunteer Groups
  • All volunteers should be at least 10 years of age and will be supervised by one or more adults (21 years or older).
  • All volunteers will be required to sign a liability waiver prior to the event.  Participants under the age of 18 will need to have their parents sign the waiver.
  • Groups will be divided into teams of two to five members.
  • All markers will be placed within the public rights of way and not on private property.
  • All storm drain marking supplies will be furnished by the Village of Clemmons.
