Willistown Township is conducting a comprehensive stormwater management program mandated by the federal Environmental Protection Agency and monitored by the state Department of Environmental Protection. A major component of the program requires an effort by the township to increase citizen stormwater awareness and participation in stormwater protection.

Stormwater pollution is a challenging water quality problem. It is caused by the daily activities of people everywhere. Rainwater and snowmelt run off streets, lawns, farms, and construction and industrial sites. The water picks up fertilizers, dirt, pesticides, oil and grease, and many other pollutants on the way to our streams, rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. Stormwater runoff is the most common cause of water pollution. And as we all know, water is essential to life, so let's all do our part in protecting this precious resource! Following are a links to important sites that inform about water quality protection and what people can do, including in daily activities, that can make a difference to our water quality and supply. Links coming soon.
