Break out the broom and sweep your way to better waterquality. Clear all grass clippings, chemicals, soil, and fertilizer off walks, drives and other hard surfaces. This extra step in your landscape care prevents these materials from washing into storm sewers and polluting our water. The solids often block sewers leading to local flooding after heavy rains. When these materials enter our waterway they can kill fish, cause algal blooms, increase aquatic weeds, harm natural habitats and create unsightly views.
