Painted Storm Drains
Sami – ColourfulWorld: Monday Mural
Walking in the Habersham Village neighborhood I notice something that seemed very familiar. I was standing on a mural painted on the sidewalk.
No, not the sidewalk but the storm drain. After taking a closer look at the mural, I could totally understand the reason why it was painted.
Then my mind began to search recent memories of why this way so familiar. I was because I saw other storm drains in the city being sectioned off to paint murals also.
Anything that is dumped or dropped on the ground or in the gutter contributes to stormwater pollution. Much of it is not biodegradable and is harmful to marine life and cleanliness of our water that we swim in and drink.
The storm drain is intended to route rainwater quickly off the streets during a heavy storm. Unfortunately, it takes all the runoff along with it. Chemicals, trash, debris from lawns, parking lots and streets, either intentionally or accidentally spilled, goes straight into our waterways.
