Are your Culverts Clear?
With spring rains starting, it's important to make sure your ditch and driveway culverts are clear of leaves and debris. Remember, only rain down the ditch!
The storm water system is intended to remove rain and storm water off of streets, through the Village via creeks and streams, and into the channel. The storm water is untreated as it flows through the Village and therefore can carry pollutants into larger waterways.
Did you know it takes 20,000 ounces of water to dilute one ounce of biodegradable detergent to be safe for fish? So how can you help prevent storm water pollution?
- Keep litter, pet wastes, leaves and debris out of ditches, street culverts, and storm drain. These outlets drain directly to lake, streams, rivers, and wetlands.
- Apply lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to directions.
- Dispose of used oil, antifreeze, paints, and other household chemicals properly - not in storm sewers or down drains. Check where you can recycle household hazardous items.
- Clean up spilled brake fluid, oil, grease and antifreeze. Do not hose them into the street where they can eventually reach local streams and lakes.
- Control soil erosion on your property by planting ground cover and stabilizing erosion-prone areas.
Read about action you can take to protect water at home and in your community. Visit the EPA website for healthy habits for clean water and tips for better vehicle and garage care, lawn and garden techniques, home improvement, pet care and more. |

Let’s make April Anti-Litter Month in Palos Park by Adopting-a-Spot.
Palos Park encourages all to Adopt-a-Spot, like parks, landmarks, schools, vacant lots, walkways or trails, campuses, public grounds, or any sites prone to litter.The most visible littering is along our roadways. The main source of this littering is from vehicles and pedestrians. It not only detracts from the beauty of our town, but also has detrimental effects on our environment. We in Palos Park enjoy the use of our trails, paths, parks and recreation areas and litter negatively affects all of them.
Litter can be a result of deliberate actions, or can be accidental in nature – such as when materials become windblown from the back of a vehicle. Litter may seem like a relatively unimportant issue, but the truth is that litter has important implications for the environment and in communities. It can negatively impact the health and safety of humans and animals, as well as the economic health and overall quality of life. If left unaddressed, litter in areas can attract more littering behavior.
Palos Park takes pride in being a safe, clean and attractive village, where residents and businesses can thrive and visitors are impressed. In an effort to keep our city as clean as possible, we are releasing a campaign encouraging residents to “Keep it Beautiful, Palos Park!”
• Throw your trash away
• Pick up litter
• Secure your load, whether in a vehicle or a on a bike, skateboard, etc.
• Clean up after your pets
• Volunteer for our community clean-up Days of Service
• Help spread the word by encouraging others to #KeepItBeautifulPalosPark
