Volunteers to stencil storm drains to education public on pollution

LEWISTON — The cities of Lewiston and Auburn are teaming up to help enhance their clean water efforts. As such, the Twin Cities will host a storm drain stenciling event at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 12.

Volunteers will meet at Festival Plaza in Auburn for a brief clean water discussion on the banks of the Androscoggin River, then split up to conduct the stenciling in the Whitney Street neighborhood in Auburn and off Webster Street and Pleasant Street in Lewiston. Volunteer participants will include 25 members of Girl Scout troops 1524, 2013 and 2012 and their parents.

The stencils mark the street near city drainage structures. Storm drain stenciling is intended to help educate the public about the fact that storm drains in the area drain directly into local bodies of water. Storm drains do not lead to treatment plants, and any pollution or trash carried from rain events or snowmelt will eventually lead untreated to the Androscoggin River, Lake Auburn and other smaller streams in both communities.

The illegal dumping of waste or trash into the drainage system can create pollution and clog drainage systems creating backups, nuisance flooding and requires expensive cleaning operations.
