Dos:
– Collect rainwater in rain barrels for your garden
– Build natural rain gardens
– Keep trash and debris out of drains
Don’ts:
– Don’t let runoff from washing your car go into the drain (even water from your faucet and water hose can harm the environment due to the chlorine)
– Don’t dispose of leaves and grass clippings into drains (this can cause drains to clog and cause high nitrogen levels in the water
– Don’t disturb large amounts of land without consulting with the city on erosion plans.
