Canton Township is mandated by the EPA to educate our residents about the Storm Water Program.  Most townships, villages, and cities are required to participate in a Storm Water Program.

    What is Storm Water?  Storm Water is the water flow that results from rainfall and melting snow.  What is Storm Water Runoff?  Storm Water runoff is water from rain and melting snow that runs off across the land, instead of infiltrating into the ground.  Storm Water runoff is unfiltered or untreated water that reaches our lakes, creeks and oceans by flowing across impervious surfaces.  Impervious surfaces like roads, parking lots, and driveways prevent storm water from naturally soaking into the ground.
