What is Stormwater Pollution?

Did you know that stormwater pollution is one of the leading causes of water quality problems in the State of Maine?

Stormwater is rain or snowmelt that does not soak into the ground, and when it runs off our lawns, driveways, parking lots, and roads it picks up pollutants such as gas and oil, excess fertilizer and pesticides, as well as pet waste, litter, and even food products that have been spilled on the ground. Stormwater carries these pollutants, untreated, into Casco Bay. The Town of Cumberland is working to prevent stormwater pollution.
