Tip Of The Month
Intentional or accidental dumping of chemicals, oils, and animal waste can drastically affect water quality. The introduction of these illicit substances can kill aquatic life, vegetation, and waterfowl that rely on freshwater environments. Illegal dumping can make water unsuitable for drinking and recreation as well. Some chemicals may be difficult or even impossible to remove from freshwater. You can help prevent the negative effects of illicit discharges by ensuring that only rain enters storm drains!
