Storm drain curb inlet markers have proven to be an effective means of providing a pollution prevention message to citizens of Plano. These markers inform citizens that anything dumped or discharged into a curb inlet will pollute a local waterway.  The plaques are attractive and eye catching, easy to install, and more durable than stenciled messages. Typically, we target heavily trafficked locations with high visibility potential, areas with a past history of dumping or reported illicit discharge problems, and locations requested by citizens. We primarily use city staff to apply the markers but we also supply them to interested citizen groups such as neighborhood associations and scout troops. By increasing public awareness of the consequences of disposing of materials into a storm drain, curb inlet markers are helping us maintain or improve water quality in Plano’s creeks and lakes.
