Stormwater drains

On Tuesday we watched a show presented by the Auckland Council on protecting our stormwater drains.

We learnt the following things:

- always wash our cars on the lawns or at the car wash

- pick up litter from the kerb so that it doesn't go down the drain

- check for leaking taps and tell someone

- let the council know if the stormwater drain caps are coming off

- to never wash oil into the stormwater drains

and lastly rain should be the only thing going down a stormwater drain.
