Order A Storm Drain Marker
Only Rain Down the Storm Drain
Storm drains directly affect our waterways, making it crucial that people understand how the storm drainage system functions and that only rain goes down the storm drain.
By marking your local storm drains you share the knowledge of stormwater pollution and help keep our water clean for all!
If you live within the city of Columbia's limits, please fill out the order form on the city's website to obtain markers. If you are outside city limits but within Boone County limits, please use the order and report forms below.
