The Adopt-A-Drain program provides residents with the opportunity to adopt a storm drain which they monitor and keep clean of leaves and other debris for a minimum of 1 year.

 

Storm drains lead directly to our creeks and streams. Keeping them clear of litter and debris helps keep contaminants our of our waterways, supporting a healthier habitat for aquatic life and cleaner drinking water for us. The program also allows volunteers to take regular sustained action to prevent localized flooding by facilitating quicker reporting of blocked or damaged parts of the storm drainage system.  

​

The 6 Easy Steps to Adopt-A-Drain:

 

Step 1 -  Review the Adopt-A-Drain Guidelines & Safety Tips (link below).

Step 2 -  Select a drain near your home or work that tends to get clogged or attract litter. This will usually be a lower lying drain in a subdivision or one on a well traveled road. If you need help identifying an appropriate drain, let us know.

Step 3 - Once the drain is approved, sign and return the completed Contract (see link below) 

Step 4 - Pick-up your supplies- for you to keep- from the KFCB office (rake, broom, vest, gloves, trash bags, safety glasses) and receive training.

Step 5 - Clear your drain of debris about twice a month (including before and after every rain) and send in a completed brief Status Report (link below)
Step 6- - Name your drain. Be as creative as you'd like. We just might feature you on social media! (examples: "Purple Drain" "Frasier Drain")
