In 2009, 13 Clean Stormwater Grants were awarded by the District's Board of Directors to schools and community groups. Another $7,800 was awarded to fifth grade classrooms in Fresno and Clovis for field trips to Scout Island on the San Joaquin River and for classroom activities.

Clean Stormwater Grants establish District partnerships with community groups and local schools by funding, in whole or in part, projects that protect or enhance water resources or educate citizens about storm water quality.

Storm Drain Stenciling

Signs saying, "No Dumping – Protect Your Water" painted on the curb at storm drain inlets are an effective way to be sure people do not pollute their water supplies. Any group with participants 9 years old or older can volunteer to stencil storm drains in their neighborhoods. The District will supply everything you need: – safety equipment, paint and stencils, instructions, and permission slips. Contact us for group leaders’ kits; click here for more information.

Presentations

The District has available staff and materials for presenting to many kinds of groups:

  • PowerPoint shows adapted for community and business settings
  • Videos about the local storm drain system and storm water pollution prevention
  • Watershed models for student interactive lessons
  • Training materials to assist businesses in storm water quality regulatory compliance

Contact us to request a presentation, or for more information.
