New storm drain markers feature the small-mouth bass (named Betty) which is a local fish, to remind us that anything we put in a storm drain goes directly into our streams. All of our local streams drain to the Potomac River, a regional treasure. The Potomac River in an important drinking water supply and drains to the Chesapeake Bay. Leesburg gets 90% of its drinking water from the Potomac River. Keep our streams clean and safe for our children, pets, and fish like Betty and other wildlife! For more information on how to volunteer to participate in the storm drain marking program, please contact the Department of Engineering and Public Works, at 703-771-2790 or e-mail stormwater@leesburgva.gov.
