Storm Drain Stewards
CRWC and Madison Heights are launching a Storm Drain Stewards project in summer 2026. Volunteers will help us stencil storm drains across Madison Heights. The stencils read, "No Dumping, Drains to River" in order to discourage residents from dumping garbage and other contaminants into drains.
Sponsored by Pure Oakland Water (POW).
CALL FOR MURALISTS
The Clinton River Watershed Council is looking for five artists to paint storm drains murals in Troy during the summer of 2026.
By combining art and science, these murals will inspire the public to be curious about where the storm water goes and how it impacts our waterways. Residents don't always associate rivers and lakes with the storm drains in our streets or parking lots. The water that enters storm drains during rain events or snowmelt go directly into the Clinton River and then Lake St. Clair. Along the way, it picks up pollutants that accumulate and impact our water.
Each artist selected will be given a $100 stipend for their time from Pure Oakland Water. Questions? Contact ervins@crwc.org.
