Storm Drain Murals Pilot Project
About this Project
The City of Burlingame launched a new Storm Drain Murals Pilot Project and sought digital artwork for these murals. Since storm drains often go unnoticed, the murals provide a unique learning opportunity to educate the public about the importance of preventing litter, pet waste, and other waste water from entering these drains.

Mural Themes
When designing artwork, artists are encouraged to consider the following themes (exact phrases do not need to appear in the mural):
- Water Quality: Clean Water Starts with You
- Stormwater Pollution Prevention: Only Rain Down the Drain
- San Francisco Bay and Estuary: Keep It Clean We’re All Downstream
Contest Winners
Thank you to everyone who entered in our contest.
