Preventing Pollution In Our Stormwater
Keeping pollutants out of the stormwater is less expensive than installing stormwater treatment facilities. The following are ways to prevent pollution from entering our stormwater:
- Leave grass clippings on the lawn
- Sweep paved areas to keep waste and debris out of storm sewers
- Reduce fertilizer and pesticide use
- Direct downspouts to lawn and gardens
- Wash cars on lawns or at a car wash
- Clean up pet waste
- Dispose of toxic waste properly
