Storm Drain
Sunnyvale Environmental Services: Adopt-a-Storm Drain!

The City of Sunnyvale's Environmental Services Department is excited to introduce new a community initiative to help keep local waterways clean and streets flood-free. The City of Sunnyvale Adopt-a-Storm Drain Program [ https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/homes-streets-and-property/streets-and-trees/storm-drains/adopt-a-storm-drain ].

 

Sunnyvale's stormwater system plays a critical role in managing runoff from streets and neighborhoods. Unlike wastewater, stormwater in Sunnyvale is not treated or filtered before reaching local waterways. Debris-clogged storm drains can cause street flooding and introduce pollutants into the Bay. By keeping storm drains clear of debris, participants can make a direct impact on the community by preventing flooding and protecting local creeks and the Bay.

 

As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to name their adopted drain and will be provided access to City-supplied tools and safety equipment, including a litter tool, rake, dustpan, bucket, gloves and a safety vest.

Trail Survey
California State Trails: User Survey

*Deadline to Participate: Sunday, May 31*

Help Improve California's Trails! Trails are essential places for recreation, health, mobility and connection to nature. California is launching a statewide effort to improve access to recreational trails, like hiking, biking and horseback riding routes, especially for communities that have historically had less access to them.

 

This effort is part of a larger plan to make the outdoors more inclusive and accessible, support climate resilience, honor tribal priorities, and help meet California’s “30x30” goal (protecting 30% of land and coastal water by 2030).

 

Learn more and take the survey to help shape future trail investments!  [ https://www.myinput.com/CaliforniaTrailsSurvey ]
