Protecting Our Waterways – It’s Up To YOU
Did you know that stormwater in the form of rainfall or snowmelt that flows over our yards, streets, parking lots, and buildings, enters our storm system and directly into a lake or stream – UNTREATED?
Our water resources are one of the most important assets to our community. Creeks, streams, drains, and ditches stretch across St. Clair County and carry water to the Black River, Pine River, Belle River, Clinton River, St. Clair River, Lake Huron and Anchor Bay. Protection of these water resources is essential to quality of life especially as the County’s and Township’s population continues to grow.
Port Huron Township participates in a regional effort with the St. Clair County Health Department, Road Commission, Drain Commission, and local communities to protect our waterways and educate our residents and businesses on storm water management and ways YOU can protect our environment.
