Paint the drains - Keep water in and pollution out!
The Auckland Regional Council have established an annual Paint the Drains program, encouraging schools around the Auckland Region to decorate the area around stormwater drains to remind all who pass by that they drain straight to streams and waterways.

Each school is given a set of variously coloured bright paints from Resene to create their masterpieces. The resulting artworks are as varied as they are colourful, each underpinned by a very positive and educational message.

Here's a small taste of the 2005 works...
