4.2 billion people living WITHOUT ACCESS to a sanitary sewer system. We are thankful for our MSDPC system and continue to improve to keep pace with increased demand. #ThankfulToFlush #WorldToiletDay

Many of our favorite Thanksgiving foods, like turkey, dressing, sauces, and baked goods are filled with hidden fats, oils, and grease. When you scrape off your plate, make sure the scraps end up in the trash and not down your drain. #KeepDrainsClear #Thanksgiving

Putting your leaves and yard waste down the storm drain has a negative impact on our community. It can harm wildlife, pollute our water, and cause erosion in our streams and creeks.

On November 16, 1990, the Federal Register included a notice of promulgating the NPDES Phase I Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) program, making this a major day in the stormwater sector. Since this time, thousands of communities, qualifying institutions, and other entities have developed MS4 programs and implemented millions of stormwater control measures collectively to address urban runoff pollution. Over these 34 years, the approach to addressing stormwater has evolved, as have the programs established to manage urban runoff. For the second year, the National Municipal Stormwater Alliance (NMSA) is recognizing National Stormwater Day to mark the progress made in the MS4 program and the gains made in the stormwater sector, as well as celebrating the diligent efforts of stormwater professionals across the country. Additionally, National Stormwater Day was established to promote the many stormwater awareness campaigns at the state, regional, and local levels that have the same goals as National Stormwater Day to increase the level of awareness of stormwater as a topic and a resource and to educate the public on the value of investing in stormwater management programs and infrastructure.
