Adopt a Drain is Now Live

Submitted by Cameron Coronado, City of Olympia

The Adopt-A-Drain program is now live! Join your neighbors in the growing movement to adopt and regularly clean storm drains to prevent neighborhood flooding and protect local waters. 

Here’s how it works. 

1. Sign up online. Visit wa.adopt-a-drain.org to find and adopt a storm drain near you. Don’t forget to give your drain a fun name!
2. Keep your storm drain clear. Using a broom or rake, clean the top of the storm drain and the surrounding area. Do not remove the grate or try to clean the inside.
3. Track your impact. Enter the estimated total of debris you collect into your online account to track your impact.
4. We’ll mail you a yard sign! Post a sign in your yard to inspire neighbors to join you in preventing flooding and water pollution.

If you have any questions about the program, please do not hesitate to reach out! 

Thank you and Merry Fishmas!
