Fish Hab i tat

Have you seen this fish? It’s a reminder that the storm drain leads to fish and wildlife habitat. Storm drains collect rainwater that flows off roads, parking lots and driveways. It’s important to keep harmful pollutants out of these storm drains as they lead directly into streams.

Volunteer for our Storm Drain Marking Program

Participate in storm drain marking to help remind our community to keep the storm drains clear of unwanted chemicals and debris. To learn more, email waterconservation@coquitlam.ca.

Immediately report illegal dumping of substances into storm drains to the City of Coquitlam Engineering Department at 604-927-3500. coquitlam.ca/stormdrain
