All local streams drain to the Potomac River and eventually the Chesapeake Bay. These waterways provide drinking water, recreation and habitat for aquatic animals and plants. Storm drain markers feature a shad – a local fish – to remind that anything put in a storm drain goes directly into local streams.
If your civic group would like to place markers on inlets, email stormwater@alexandriava.gov.
