Restoring Norfolk’s Waterways
Storm Drain Medallion ProgramOnly Rain Down the Storm Drain!
There are hundreds of storm drains across the City of Norfolk that all lead to our waterways and we need your help in letting everyone know that only rain belongs in the storm drain. This program is open to all ages, not just youth! You can help us mark the storm drains near you. We will provide medallions, adhesive, and maps to record your medallion placement.
This project is a great opportunity to learn about our waterways and the easy steps everyone can take to protect them.
Contact the Storm Water Public Relations Specialist Michelle Williams via email for inquiries about participating in the program.
The round, blue discs, or medallions, that you will attach to the tops of storm drains will help remind and educate other citizens about the importance of preventing pollution from entering our sensitive waterways, and above all, that storm drains are not to be used for dumping.
