A chance to protect our water, make a difference, and win a rain barrel all rolled into one great opportunity? The Adopt a Storm Drain Contest is just that. The Adopt-a-Drain program encourages residents to take care of a storm drain in their community by regularly clearing leaves, trash, and other debris from the drain, which helps prevent reduce stormwater pollution entering our local bodies of water. The Adopt-a-Drain contest provides another reason to take part in the program by offering a chance to win a free rain barrel.
Three winners will be selected, one from each category. Here are the ways you can win:
- Adopt a storm drain (or several). Winner will be randomly selected
- Come up with a creative name for your drain. Winner will be selected by Mayor Wilson.
- Report a cleaning between June 15-September 15. Winner will be randomly selected, one entry per participant.
Sign up to adopt a drain and participate.
Only storm drains adopted in Red Wing are eligible for consideration. The contest closes September 15. Winners will be notified by email. The contest is sponsored by City of Red Wing Public Works Department.
