The Town of Apex storm drain marking program is a great hands-on opportunity for volunteers to help educate their community about the importance of pollution prevention. Many Town residents are not aware that stormwater runoff which enters the storm drains (curb inlets) is not treated. The runoff flows directly into our creeks, rivers and lakes. This program allows volunteers to adhere watershed specific markers on storm drains to remind all of us that stormwater runoff can wash pesticides, fertilizers, pet waste, litter, oil and other automobile fluids, sediment and household chemicals into our valuable creeks, rivers and lakes. 

The Town will provide you and/or your group with all storm drain marking supplies, safety equipment and instructions.

All volunteers are requested to be at least 12 years of age and should be supervised by one or more adults.  The Town also requires all volunteers to sign a liability waiver.  Volunteers under the age of 18 will need to have their parents sign the waiver. 

If you and/or your group are interested in volunteering in this program, please complete the forms linked below and submit to the Town Public Works and Utilities Department to schedule your storm drain marking outing.
