Even the most careful, conscientious business can unintentionally create pollution. As responsible members of our community, it's up to all of us to keep Santa Maria clean and our environment pristine for future generations.
What is a Multi-Purpose Retention Basin - MPRB?
When rain or water flows over our streets, driveways, yards, and parking lots, it carries pollutants into our City storm drains - pollutants like motor oil, pesticides, detergents, antifreeze, paints, grass clippings, and pet waste.
In most places, whatever goes into storm drains flows directly, without treatment, into the nearest local retention basin. Like many cities, a number of Santa Maria's retention basins double as athletic fields. Our children and families use these multi-purpose retention basins (MPRBs) as fields for soccer and other activities. Typical examples of MPRBs in Santa Maria are Simas, Minami, and Adam Parks.

Keep MPRBs Clean;
Our Families Play There!
