Press Room


San Mateo Countywide Water Pollution Prevention Program (SMCWPPP) partners with residents and businesses to prevent pollution of our local water bodies; such as creeks, the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean.

Keep Car Wash Pollution out of the Storm Drain
The Car is Clean but what about the Bay and Ocean?

When you wash your car in the driveway or street, contaminants such as oil, grease, and metals (copper, nickel, and zinc) as well as the dirt and soap can flow into storm drains, which discharge into local creeks, the San Francisco Bay, and the Pacific Ocean, polluting our environment.
