Storm water travels through a vast system of pipes and pumps to move water away from our homes
to a water treatment plant and back into the Great Lakes. Our system is not designed to
handle rainfall from extreme storms that can lead to freeway flooding and basement backups.
Help protect your property and your community by making sure storm drains are clean and avoid
using your washing machine so as not to overload the system during a storm. Keep our system fresh
and flowing. It's all one water.
