Welcome to the Stormwater Outreach and Education Web Page

Boone County is dedicated to protecting water quality in our natural streams and waterways. Stormwater Outreach and Education focuses on building support from local residents and businesses in preserving water quality and the environment. As stormwater runoff flows through a watershed, it picks up pollutants that may cause serious damage to a stream ecosystem. Many of these pollutants can be safely removed with good stormwater management practices. Boone County is working to provide you with the latest information on water quality, encourage you to use our online tools in your own backyard, and to introduce you to other resources available to you, your neighborhood, and community.
