STORMWATER..

WHAT IS STORMWATER?
Stormwater is rain that falls on roofs or paved areas like driveways, roads and footpaths. This water is carried away by a system of stormwater pipes and drains. It eventually ends up in our groundwater, lakes and ponds and the ocean. Stormwater carries a number of pollutants which can negatively impact water quality and aquatic life.

Here on Cape Cod, towns are working together to help control pollution from stormwater in a number of ways. The Groundwater Guardian team is helping with education and outreach to citizens and municipal officials through the efforts of PROJECT STORM.

Ultimately, the Groundwater Guardian Team, with help from citizens like you, will educate all residents on Cape Cod on the importance of stopping stormwater pollution to make our water bodies here on Cape Cod cleaner and safer to use.
