Town of Maiden, NC

The Town of Maiden is working to protect our local streams from being damaged by stormwater pollution.  When it rains, pollutants such as fertilizer, oil, grease and pet waste are picked up from the ground and carried into the nearest storm drain down the street. The storm drains are not connected to a treatment system, so everything that flows down the drain goes directly to the nearest creek, river or stream.  Click here to learn more about how stormwater pollution occurs.
