STORMWATER TIP: KEEPING STREETS AND GUTTERS CLEAN HELPS PROTECT STREAMS AND RIVERS |
Throughout fall and winter, our roads collect debris from snow and ice removal operations including fallen leaves. The city sweeper truck is operating as often as weather permits, but we need your help to keep our streets clean so that debris and pollutants don’t end up in our streams and rivers. Here’s how you can help:
- Make sweeping the gutter in front of your home part of your regular practice.
- Sweep during the fall and after winter thaw.
- Sweep after mowing and yard maintenance throughout the year.
