Stormwater Starts in the Parking Lot

Stormwater Starts in the Parking Lot

Via DPW Stormwater & Environmental Affairs Division

Your parking lot is more than just a place to park, it is a hotspot for runoff pollution. When rain hits trash, oil stains, or spilled materials, it sends all that straight into storm drains and nearby rivers and lakes.

Routine sweeping, spot-cleaning spills, and keeping dumpsters tidy go a long way toward protecting water quality.

Clean lots aren’t just good for business in Franklin, they help meet environmental regulations and keep our waterways clear.
