Clean Water Tip
FALL LEAVES
The next time you rake your leaves, mulch, bag or compost them, but don’t let them run into the storm drains. Adopt a storm drain on your street and please keep it clean of leaves, dirt, grass clippings, and other debris.
What you can do
Take Action
Drink tap water instead of bottle water. Gallon after gallon of purified tap water from area water treatment plants is pumped directly to our homes and businesses everyday for less than a penny a gallon. Low cost. No bottles. No waste.
