Storm Drains Connect Streets to Creeks
 All of the storm drains in the Town of Windsor discharge into creeks and ultimately drain into the Russian River. The discharge from the storm drains is not treated. That's why it's so important that people in Windsor take the necessary steps to prevent pollution in our creeks. To learn how to to prevent pollution in your neighborhood or business area, click on the Business/Residents tab on this webpage, or visit StreetsToCreeks.org.
