PET WASTE DISPOSAL

Pollution from Pet Waste affects Water Quality by going into the stormwater drains, or directly into local waterways. Which can be very harmful to other animals, adults and children.

Some ways to easily prevent this from happening:

Use a shovel or bag to pick up pet waste
Double bag pet waste before putting into a trash can
Do not put pet waste in a storm drain, catch basin, ditch or leave on the ground.

WASHING VEHICLES

Wash Your Vehicle on the lawn or other unpaved surface to minimize the amount of dirty soapy water flowing into a catch basin or stream
Use a commercial car wash; the polluted water goes to the Wastewater Plant for treatment.
Use a hose with a shutoff nozzle, you will save money and there will be less run off
Use detergents sparingly, use biodegradable, phosphate-free detergents.

Yard Care

Do not dispose of grass clippings on the street or in a catch basin
Do not over fertilize or fertilize when rain is predicted

It’s that time of the year again.
