Stormwater Awareness Campaign
As part of its ongoing "Stormwater Matters" education effort, Natick is conducting an ad campaign to raise public awareness about stormwater. The ads may be seen on cable television, the municipal website, posters located in various locations around Town and as postcards.
Stormwater is the runoff water after it rains or snows. Stormwater picks up litter, sand, bacteria, and chemicals as it flows over the land and into storm drains, and it carries these pollutants to our streams, ponds, wetlands and coastal waters. Stormwater pollution can harm water quality, making waterways less usable for drinking, swimming, fishing, boating, and wildlife. The new stormwater ad campaign focuses on lawn care, car care, picking up after pets, not littering, keeping storm drains clean, and low impact development techniques. Each ad gives practical and easy tips for how to prevent stormwater pollution.
