Do you have projects that groups can get involved with?

Yes. Group leaders may contact Salt Lake Engineering through this web site to request an area in Salt Lake County that you would like to affix Curb markers above storm drains.

We provide a map of the storm drains in the area, curb markers and the necessary supplies to affix the markers.

You can also request fliers to disperse to neighbors in the surrounding area about the markers you placed and their significance.
