Cobb County Water System

Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers who joined us yesterday to mark storm drains and distribute educational materials to more than 130 homes in our community!

Storm drains play an important role in protecting our local waterways. Stormwater flows directly from streets and neighborhoods into nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. That means anything left on the ground, such as litter, pet waste, and other pollutants, can be carried by rainwater straight into our waterways.

By marking storm drains and helping educate residents, our volunteers are raising awareness about the connection between our neighborhoods and local streams. Small actions, like properly disposing of waste and keeping debris out of storm drains, can make a big difference in protecting water quality!

Storm Drain Marking service projects will return in the Fall, but if you or your organization would like to host your own Storm Drain Marking event, project proposal forms can be found on our website!
