Did you know that we have more than 25,000 storm drains in Pittsburgh that lead to our sewer system, streams, and rivers? You can help reduce river pollution and street flooding by keeping storm drains clear of trash and debris. You can also sign up with Allegheny CleanWays to adopt a storm drain in your neighborhood! 

Register to be a GrateKeeper at alleghenycleanways.org and they’ll provide the information you need to get started.

Help protect our storm drains, streams, and rivers:

• Never dump vehicle fluids, grass clippings, leaves, or litter into storm drains.
• Where safe to do so, clear leaves, litter, and debris off storm drain grates and dispose of them properly.
• Never reach inside a storm drain or lift the grate.
• Report clogged or broken storm drains by calling our 24/7 Dispatch at 412-255-2423, tweeting @pgh2o, or submitting our Report an Issue webform found on our homepage.
