The Borough of Stratford has a storm water management plan and a storm water pollution prevention plan to help reduce flood damage and soil erosion, and to minimize pollution runoff into our water supply. Here are practices you can follow to help prevent pollution of our water through the storm drain system:
- Limit your use of fertilizers and pesticides
- Properly use and dispose of hazardous products
- Keep pollution out of storm drains
- Clean up after your pet
- Don’t feed wildlife
- Don’t litter
- Dispose of yard waste properly
Stormwater Solutions Tip Sheets
Of course, the Borough has ordinances that prohibit contamination through the storm drains; but your help and cooperation is what is really needed to help maintain our clean water.
