Threats

 

 Storm water 

Water that enters a storm drain is not treated like our wastewater; rainwater and surface water runoff can carry pollutants that are harmful to aquatic organisms. You must avoid using chemicals and toxic cleaners outside your home and be extra careful to dispose of your yard waste properly as it can accumulate in the stream or affect the infrastructure. Check out the graphic below from the City of Cranbrook for a visual representation of our underground water systems.
