STORMWATER DIVISION HIGHLIGHTS VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

On Feb. 3, the Stormwater Division was interviewed by WGHP FOX8 to talk about their volunteer program for storm drain marking. Kelsie Burgess with the Stormwater Services Division spoke with a FOX8 representative at Armstrong Park to show how volunteers can help bring awareness to protecting our storm drains from potential pollution, thus preventing pollution in our local waterways.

This is a flexible volunteer program that any citizen of High Point can do. Volunteers can choose a location in High Point (a neighborhood or multiple streets), and, using adhesive, they will attach small signs to the storm drains to let everyone know that only rain should go down our storm drains.

There are currently thousands of drains to be marked in High Point. Please reach out to the Stormwater Division if you’re interested in volunteering.
