Stormwater is rainfall that runs off roofs, roads and other surfaces where it flows into gutters, streams, rivers and creeks, that eventually into the ocean untreated. This water can carry contaminants such as plastic bags, detergents, nutrients and heavy metals.

Council are installing filtration systems to stormwater outlets to reduce the likelihood of contaminants entering our waterways.

It is important for the community to not throw litter like plastic bottles, cans and other contaminants down the drain and instead place the litter in the bins Council provides.
