Why is there a marker on our storm drains?

The storm drain inlets in your neighborhood have been marked with a special reminder to everyone that what goes down that inlet will eventually end up in Lake Ray Hubbard or Lake Lavon. 


If your neighborhood storm drain inlets have not been marked, please let us know! Email Stormwater Management or call us at 972-547-7579.
