Protecting Tennessee’s waterways starts with preventing stormwater pollution.

By picking up litter and disposing of waste properly, you can help prevent pollution from streams, rivers, or lakes.

Small actions can make a big difference for water quality.

Keeping your lawn healthy also helps protect waterways.

Avoid mowing when the ground is overly saturated and be mindful when mowing near streams or drainage areas.

Maintaining a healthy lawn and leaving a small unmowed buffer near waterways can help reduce erosion and protect water quality.

Parking lots collect more than just cars.

Leaves, trash, dirt, and other debris can all wash into storm drains during rainfall.

Regular sweeping and cleanup help prevent pollution from reaching nearby creeks and rivers.

A project is about to be underway at Founders Park that will retrofit the existing detention basin near the Knox County library with a new outfall structure and remove the existing concrete low-flow channel. Current plans are to begin the project on or around August 17, with completion in approximately two weeks, weather permitting. Parking spaces may be slightly limited in the lower parking lot near the library during construction. The project is funded through a grant from the Tennessee Department of Agriculture to Knox County, Town of Farragut, and City of Knoxville to improve water quality in the Turkey Creek watershed. This retrofit will improve the quality of stormwater runoff by reducing downstream velocities and reducing Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and E. coli in the North Fork of Turkey Creek.

🌧️💧 Did you know? Storm drains don't lead to a treatment plant.

When rain washes litter, oil, grass clippings, and other pollutants into a storm drain, they often flow directly into nearby creeks, rivers, and lakes.

That's why keeping our streets clean helps protect Tennessee's waterways.

✔️ Pick up litter
✔️ Never dump anything into a storm drain
✔️ Properly dispose of yard waste and chemicals

Clean streets lead to cleaner streams—and healthier communities.

Closing your pool for the season?

Never drain chlorinated pool water directly into a storm drain. Chlorine and other pool chemicals can harm fish and wildlife.

Allow chlorine levels to return to normal before draining and always follow your local community’s disposal guidelines.

Have you ever noticed grass growing on an active construction site?

That’s called temporary seeding, and it’s an important way to protect nearby waterways. Fast-growing vegetation helps hold soil in place until construction is complete, reducing erosion and keeping sediment out of storm drains and streams.

Sometimes, a little grass can make a big difference.
