Help Protect Water Sources!
Stormwater runoff causes a significant percentage of pollution in waterways. Fertilizers, car oils, yard clippings, soil, pet waste, and litter contain harmful contaminants. Stormwater runs over yards, streets, parking lots, playgrounds, and fields, carrying pollutants and debris into storm drains and rivers.
BE MINDFUL! Dispose of waste and chemicals properly. Help protect everyone’s water sources.
