Education & outreach
In Lenexa, we focus on how water quality can be protected by the way we design, build and live in our community. As part of this, we provide educational assistance and opportunities to residents, businesses and professionals to reduce stormwater runoff and pollution.

Protecting these valuable resources begins with you! Understand the connection between stormwater management and stream protection. By learning more about how to protect and improve our water quality, you improve the quality of life in Lenexa.

How do I start? Identify areas where you contribute to water pollution and make changes. Everyone can take an active role in protecting the streams and lakes in our community. • Learn more about stormwater. • Volunteer to protect water quality. • Advocate for cleaner stormwater. • Support Rain to Recreation at a local event.

What is the city doing? Rain to Recreation works with neighborhood associations, schools, industry professionals, local businesses and residents, engaging the entire community in stormwater issues by: • Establishing a network of community and business partners to work together to prevent stormwater pollution. • Promoting stormwater pollution prevention solutions. • Developing social marketing programs that encourage residents to adopt stormwater Best Management Practices. • Celebrating and rewarding our partners who help promote and contribute to pollution prevention and reducing runoff.
