We work with residents willing to adopt and care for a drain(s). We have maps to help with selecting a drain(s) convenient to residents. Adoption basically entails keeping an eye on the drain and clearing leaves/debris on an as-needed basis, then making a call to public works (727) 893-1089 for removal of the leaves/debris that were cleared. This will help reduce or eliminate both street flooding and contribute to maintaining the water quality of our bay and beyond.
Adopting is easy. First sign up for Gulfport Connects, then respond to the Adopt-A-Drain need (this need). To chose a drain to adopt, simply chose one from the Adopt-A-Drain Map. We will contact you and ask which drain number you would like. We will mark the map with a heart indicating your drain is adopted!
