Storm water flows directly into open bodies of water via an intricate system of canals.
Therefore it is important to monitor and reduce the contaminants that enter our water system. Fertilizer and pesticides from our lawns have ill effects on wildlife, nature, and water quality. It is important to reduce the amount of water that runs off of our yards into the drainage systems, ultimately released into our waterways. Direct down spouts and gutters to drain onto lawns, plant beds, or a rain barrel, instead of the street. Collect and use rainwater to irrigate your landscape.
