- Storm Water Management is responsible for educating people who live and work in Dallas on how they can help keep local creeks, rivers, and lakes clean by preventing storm water pollution. We provide outreach to schools, community groups, professional organizations, construction operators, and industrial operators.
- We are also in charge with educating City of Dallas employees and that has lead to our online education modules. Last fiscal year thousands of City of Dallas employees took the Storm Water 101 module/quiz, and to build upon that success Storm Water Management is releasing the sequel: “Storm Water 201: Illicit Discharges.”
- If you don’t know what an illicit discharge is that’s OK, because the module will teach you all about it. Just go to http://www.cod/PublicWorks/StormWater201, read the module, then take the six-question quiz to see how much you learned.
As a way to say thanks, all Storm Water 201 participants will be entered into a monthly drawing to receive a Storm Water Management prize bag. The prize bag includes a canvas tote bag, an umbrella, and other fun items that relate to storm water. Participants are only eligible to be entered into the drawing for the month that they took Storm Water 201.
We would also like to issue a challenge to all of the departments to get as many of their employees to take Storm Water 201.
Participant numbers will be tracked throughout the year to determine which department has the highest percentage of participation. The winning department will be recognized at our end of the year ceremony, on our intranet page, and in our quarterly newsletter, Inside the Inlet.
