We live in an area rich with breathtaking rivers, streams, hills and valleys. Our water ways are a distinctive part of our region, impacting wildlife, recreation, business and development. But they are not always treated with respect. Pollution collected from stormdrains through out the region flows directly into the river system. This untreated water from rain, runoff and snow melt from surrounding communities pollutes the Rock River and its tributaries.
