About 20 homeschooled students in Emerson Park have a much better understanding of Ave Maria's stormwater systems thanks to a recent presentation from Ave Maria Utility Company manager Jason Vogel recently.
The students saw how the system worked and learned about the impact when various pollutants enter the storm drains.
As a service project, the students then, in teams guided by AMUC representatives, affixed markers on each of the stormwater drains in Emerson Park to alert residents that the drains lead to the waterways. AMUC will also be meeting with another group of homeschool students in December to provide the same presentation and service activity in Hampton Village. (photos by Alicia Ritter)
