To enhance the water quality of the Penobscot River and its tributaries as well as educate the general public about water quality and to establish ownership for a resource that continues to define our community.

Description:
The Bangor Area Storm Water Group works with the local municipalities to safeguard Maine's water from storm water pollution. Volunteers work with the BASWG in community projects such as storm drain stenciling and stream clean-ups that help raise local awareness of water quality issues.
