Percentage of Storm Drains Adopted in Northeast Minneapolis
Although the NE Storm Drain Challenge was successful its first year in promoting storm drain adoptions and awareness, there is still plenty of room for improvement. By adopting a storm drain and keeping it free and clear of debris that can contaminate the river, we can make a big difference together.
