Hamilton County Storm Water District
The Hamilton County Storm Water District was established in March 2003 to meet the requirement of water quality set down by the Ohio EPA through the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II program.

Volunteers Needed!

Would you like to participate in community service that helps improve local streams?

Storm Drain Labeling may be right for you!

The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District is looking for volunteers of all types, Boy or Girl Scouts, Community Groups, School Groups, or individuals to participate in storm drain labeling events.

What is Storm Drain Labeling?

Storm Drain Labeling is a one or two-hour event that takes place in your neighborhood. Volunteers attach labels reading “No Dumping” onto storm drains and pass out door hangers to increase awareness that storm drains empty directly into streams without being treated. With that knowledge residents can make informed decisions about disposing of household hazardous waste, like motor oil, and will understand the direct effects of pesticides, fertilizers and litter.

Materials and supervision are free to all jurisdictions that are members of the Hamilton County Storm Water District. City of Harrison, Forest Park, Cheviot, Springdale, Loveland & Reading are not members and must pay for the materials.

Watershed Signage - Where does that stream flow?

Understanding that every stream is part of a larger system is the first step in taking ownership for the role everyone plays in water quality. These signs identify and name local streams and the watershed it drains to. 

Materials are free to all jurisdictions that are members of the Hamilton County 
Storm Water District.

Stream Clean-ups

The Storm Water District organizes and participates in several stream clean ups along the Great Miami River, Little Miami River and Ohio River each year. If you would like to be notified of these events, call Brian Bohl at the District Office at 772-7645.
