Cindy Bryan, Grace College art professor, is painting one of the storm drains in front of the Central Park pavilion with mural paint. A protective coating will be put over the top. Next year, as a part of the Clean Water Art Project, she and her Art Integration students from Grace College will paint storm drains in downtown Warsaw to increase awareness of the importance of keeping storm drains clean from grass clippings, chemicals, trash and other pollutants that can easily mix with rain water and melting snow and then enter the storm drain system. The water that enters the storm drains in the streets flows untreated into the lakes and waterways. The art being painted in Central Park now is only a sampling of what is to come in 2016. Next summer, Grace College, the Center for Lakes & Streams and the Warsaw Stormwater Utility will unveil approximately 15 storm drains painted in downtown Warsaw. It is an educational art project intended to educate the community about making good daily decisions to take care of local waterways.
