Working a booth at a local lakes festival, Theresa Sailor learned that about 80 percent of people didn’t know where water flowing down storm drains ended up.“Many don’t realize that when they wash out their latex paintbrushes or put grass clippings in the street, all that water goes untreated, and most of it goes right into our waterways — Pike Lake, Center Lake, Winona Lake and the Tippecanoe River,” says Sailor, stormwater coordinator for the City of Warsaw, Ind.Her job is to change that, and generally to make people more aware of water-quality issues and the importance of pollution prevention.
