York County environmental programs were established to improve the quality of water in our lakes, rivers and streams. Cleaning-up and maintaining York County’s natural waterways are tasks that require cooperation and participation from government entities, industries, businesses and residents alike.
The Adopt-A-Stream Program allows York County residents to become watershed stewards by cleaning our waterways. York County encourages local businesses, civic organizations, churches, academic institutions, homeowner associations and scout groups to adopt a local stream, river or cove for the purpose of keeping them litter free.
The Adopt-A-Stream Program is easy and fun. In order to participate in the Adopt-A-Stream Program your group will need to commit to at least two clean-up events per year. York County will supply all the materials needed for your clean-up and you will even be awarded an Adopt-A-Stream sign.
The Storm Drain Marking Program was designed to raise citizen awareness and educate the public about the storm drains and their direct connection to our local streams, creeks and lake. Participants place the markers on or near the storm drains utilizing a strong adhesive, Again, anyone can participate and York County will supply everything needed to mark the storm drains.
If you and/or your business are interested in the any of the York County environmental programs, please contact York County Environmental Compliance Coordinator at 803-818-5145 or visit yorkcountygov.com/tyler to learn more.

Lake Wylie Pilot is pleased to be able to offer its users the opportunity to make comments and hold conversations online. However, the interactive nature of the internet makes it impracticable for our staff to monitor each and every posting.
Since Lakewyliepilot.com does not control user submitted statements, we cannot promise that readers will not occasionally find offensive or inaccurate comments posted on our website. In addition, we remind anyone interested in making an online comment that responsibility for statements posted lies with the person submitting the comment, not Lake Wylie Pilot.
