Rostraver Township recently issued the following announcement.

MS4 Poster Winners

On March 31, 2021 the Rostraver Township Board of Commissioners recognized 4th Grade Students from Rostraver Elementary for submitting artwork on Rostraver Township being a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) community.  It is a program regulated by the EPA and DEP to address water pollution.  The students were tasked with creating posters to show simple things we can do in our daily lives to limit pollution ending up in our waterways.

First Place - Jocelyn Cramer "See beauty in each drop!"

Second Place - Lucy Eisengart  "We are saving the Earth!"

Third Place - Noah Spedaliere "It's the water you drink!"

Honorable recognition - Jordan Jerome and Lilah Steeber

These small acts can make a huge impact for the safety and cleanliness of our community's water as stormwater pollution is the primary source for water pollution.  Pollutants flow into streams or storm drains that empty into our waterways like the Monongahela and Youghiogheny River.
