Carry the Load stops in Erie raising awareness for veterans' sacrifices The outfall deposits water from catch basins and roadways north of West 16th Street between Poplar and Sassafras Streets. Anything that enters storm drains in the 336-acre area comes out at the Myrtle Street outfall. 'Clean drinking water doesn't just happen. It starts with the source. Today, we're taking actionable items to prevent debris, trash, and other things from draining and going into our waterways,' said Craig Palmer, CEO of Erie Water Works. Saegertown residents turn trash into treasure for Make-A-Wish 'It's essentially designed to find out what we don't know because we're not sure what's coming into Presque Isle Bay from this location,' said Don Benczkowski, program coordinator for the Lake Erie Region of Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful. It's also Drinking Water Week, and 12 million people rely on Lake Erie for drinking water. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
