Event planners, vendors, and attendees at community events can contribute to reducing stormwater pollution by following several guidelines. The focus is on ensuring that only rainwater enters storm drains, which helps protect local waterways from contamination.
One of the key recommendations is to cover any materials, including chemicals and substances used in cleaning or cooking, when they are stored outside. This precaution prevents these potentially harmful materials from being washed into storm drains during rain or snow melt.
Additionally, it is advised that trash cans and dumpsters be properly covered. This measure ensures that harmful bacteria do not get washed into waterways, maintaining the health of the environment.

"If it isn’t rain it doesn’t belong in the drain!"
