Stormwater Pollution

Stormwater pollution form point sources and nonpoint sources is a challenging water quality problem. Unlike pollution from industry or sewage treatment facilities, which is caused by a discrete number of sources, stormwater pollution is caused by the daily activities of people everywhere. Rainwater and snowmelt run off streets, lawns, farms, and construction and industrial sites and pick up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many other pollutants on the way to our rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Stormwater runoff is our most common cause of water pollution. Because stormwater pollution is caused by so many different activities, traditional regulatory controls will only go so far. Education and outreach are key components to any successful stormwater program.

PUBLIC SAFETY & STORMWATER EDUCATION DAY

For the past few years, the Palmyra Borough Administrative Office has held a Public Safety & Stormwater Education Day. This past year we had activity books, crayons, and water canteens for the children. We also held a raffle to win a child car seat, a helmet from In-Gear Cycling, and also a child's helmet and safety pad set. In addition to that the Palmyra Police Department was giving out stickers and gun safety locks. During the event we had a visit from McGruff the crime dog. This event usually occurs during the month of June located in the back parking lot of the Palmyra Municipal Building. Please see pictures of event below.
