PUBLIC WORKS NEWS Stormwater Division STORM WATER TIPS FOR “FALL”ING INTO WINTER As you button up your yard before winter comes, are your fall yard practices protecting our rivers and lakes? They are if you: * Keep your leaves and grass clippings out of the streets and storm drains. Yard plants that get into waterways rob aquatic life of oxygen as they decompose. * Direct down spouts away from hard surfaces. Rainwater leaving your roof has collected pollutants that can be safely captured by your lawn. If it runs across hard surfaces and into the storm drains instead, run-off goes directly in waterways without any treatment. You are the answer to storm water pollution!
