Help keep Austin's water clean by marking storm drains with the City of Austin's Watershed Protection Department. To help prevent dumping in storm drains, volunteers place markers on the drains as a visual reminder that the storm drains run directly to our creeks and distribute door hangers in the area with more information about water pollution.
