PEOPLE/AWARDS

The town of Westfield received a 2023 Stormwater Management Award from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council for its Adopt-A-Drain Program. The program has residents sign up to adopt specific storm drains that they then commit to keeping clear of debris. The program provides drain keepers with tips on how to keep the drains clear and offers a tool to help people record how much debris they’ve gotten out of the gutter. 

The city of Hendersonville received a $3.42 million grant from the North Carolina Division of Water Infrastructure and North Carolina Land and Water Fund that is designed to help reduce flood risk and restore floodplains in the city’s southside and continue the development of the city’s Comprehensive Stormwater Master Plan.

Clayton County (Georgia) is receiving $2.6 million from the Environmental Protection Agency to address the county’s stormwater infrastructure issues.
