Wilmington city staff are offering a tour of various stormwater solutions and information on how to achieve similar results in reducing waterborne pollution.
The tours are set for 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, April 27, at Anne McCrary Park by Randall Pond, 4000 Randall Parkway.

The in-person, socially distanced tour will include rain gardens, pervious pavement and a how-to on setting up rain barrels, all methods that slow down and allow stormwater to soak in rather than run off and wash pollutants to local waterways. Information will include examples and typical maintenance needs.
Email healourwaterways@wilmingtonnc.gov for more information and to register. Drop-ins are welcome, but registration will guarantee a free goodie bag, officials said.
Organizers encourage carpooling and biking because of limited parking availability.
