Regional Storm Water Quality Awareness Survey

How much do you know about storm water quality?

Residents of Placer County are being asked to take this educational awareness survey on the topic of storm water quality. Storm water is an important subject matter in the community that isn’t commonly understood. Some people may know the definition of the word but may not understand the impact it has on the environment. Therefore, we encourage you to take this survey so that we can gauge the level of understanding on the subject of storm water and better develop our outreach tools to educate our communities. Gift cards will be given to randomly selected participants during the months of August and September. We appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey!
