The Village of Worth’s storm drainage system carries untreated storm water runoff directly to creeks and rivers. The benefits of keeping these areas free of sediment, debris and contaminants are:
- We have clean water in our rivers for drinking, wildlife and recreation;
- storm drainage facilities that are free of sediment and trash require less maintenance;
- stream corridors provide a healthy habitat for wildlife and an attractive space in a neighborhood.
