We are proud to share that Storm Water Systems has been recognized as a "Clean Water Hero" for our work on the Flat Creek Litter Trap project in Gainesville, Georgia. This prestigious acknowledgment, featured in a recent article by The Gainesville Times, highlights the significant impact our Bandalong Litter Trap has had on improving water quality and reducing pollution in Flat Creek and Lake Lanier.

The Flat Creek Litter Trap, installed in December 2015, was designed to capture floating debris and litter before it could enter Lake Lanier, a vital water source for the region. Over the past year, this innovative device has exceeded expectations by effectively removing large quantities of trash from the waterway, contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment.

This recognition as a "Clean Water Hero" underscores the importance of our mission at Storm Water Systems: to protect and preserve our natural waterways through innovative solutions. The success of the Flat Creek Litter Trap is a testament to the power of collaboration between local governments, environmental groups, and the community. By working together, we have not only addressed a pressing environmental issue but also set a new standard for waterway protection.

The Bandalong Litter Trap's effectiveness has caught the attention of officials and environmental advocates, leading to discussions about expanding the use of these traps in other critical areas. The project serves as a model for other communities seeking to implement sustainable and cost-effective methods of trash removal in their waterways.

At Storm Water Systems, we are dedicated to continuing our efforts to provide cutting-edge solutions that make a real difference in the fight against water pollution. Being named a "Clean Water Hero" motivates us to push even further in our mission to keep our waterways clean and our communities thriving.
