The City of Austin storm drain marking program is a hands-on project
for volunteers who are interested in educating the public about
pollution prevention. The markers are placed on storm drain inlet
filters to remind us that rainfall runoff can wash soil, yard waste,
fertilizer, motor oil, and other pollutants into our waterways.
Steps to Volunteering:
- Decide on an area of Austin you’d like to mark (or we can assign an area)
- Determine the number of volunteers and an event date.
- Call 974-2550 to request kits.
- For individuals under the age of 18 years old, turn in a liability release form.
- Schedule a time to pick up the kits from City of Austin, Watershed Protection Department office at 505 Barton Springs Road, 11th floor (map).
- Stormdrain Marking volunteer coordinator will train event coordinator on marker installation.
- Volunteers must record drains marked on the map provided.
- After the event, return all materials and marked maps (including number of drains marked) to City of Austin within 30 days.
