Southwest
Ohio Storm Water Collaborative New Web Site
The South
West Ohio Storm Water Collaborative (SWOSWC) recently posted
a new web site at www.saveohiowater.org.
The Collaborative, which is composed of area storm water districts,
created the site as a central location for information about
water quality in south west Ohio. The site includes helpful tips
for homeowners on how to keep our water clean, information on,
and maps of, area watersheds, and links to other sites concerned
with water quality.
Members of
SWOSWC include the Butler County Storm Water District, the City
of Hamilton, the City of Lebanon, the City of Mason, the Deerfield
Regional Storm Water District, the Hamilton County Storm Water
District and Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Warren
County Soil and Water Conservation District. These entities have
come together in response to government mandates under the Clean
Water Act to educate the public on water quality issues affecting
communities in the greater Cincinnati area.
SWOSWC will
be airing radio commercials, and some member groups will be posting
bill boards, featuring a talking storm drain to draw the public's
attention to the pollution that enters our waterways via the
storm drain system. The group has also established a hotline
to report storm drain problems and other water quality issues
at 513-946-3999.
