Storm Drain Marking Program – City of Winter Park

City of Winter ParkDepartmentsNatural Resources & SustainabilityLakes DivisionLakes StormwaterStorm Drain Marking Program

After rainfall, stormwater flows over land or impervious surfaces, such as paved streets, parking lots, and building dirt/sediment. Stormwater runoff is directed to local waterways, that without treatment, can harm our rivers, streams, lakes, and coastal waters.

Most of the City of Winter Park lies within what is known as the Howell Branch Drainage Basin. Howell Branch Creek, also known as Howell Creek, is a tributary of the St. Johns River. All of the land area that contributes runoff to Howell Branch is referred to as its drainage basin. There are approximately 17 square miles of land that drain to Howell Branch before it leaves Winter Park. Winter Park alone has over 2,300 stormwater inlets and 46 miles of stormwater pipes.

Help protect our city’s waterways from pollution by placing storm drain markers in your neighborhood!
