DEBRIS CAN CAUSE CLOGGING OF STORM DRAINS
When storm drains clog (or catch basins) with leaves and other debris, water can no longer drain from the street. This water then pools along streets and can flood intersections and homes.
Contrary to popular belief, oil, pet waste and other materials dumped into the storm drains do not go to the wastewater treatment plant, but instead flow directly into streams and rivers. Dumping debris and other material into the storm drain is not only illegal, but contributes pollution to our waterways and causes localized flooding.
It is important to keep storm drains free of obstructions to prevent street flooding, property damage and hazards to the public traveling the roadways.
How should you dispose of leaves and debris? When clearing your sidewalk of driveway, please don’t rake or blow the leaves and grass clippings from your yard into the street. One option would be to sweep, collect and bag leaves and grass clippings. Another option would be to blow grass clippings back onto your lawn when they can become mulch and a natural fertilizer. Or consider raking or blowing leaves and debris into a compost pile, where they can decompose.

PETS LOST OR FOUND?

MICRO CHIPPING
Micro-chipping for proper ID of your pets is very important. Debbie is unable to house your lost pets in the neighborhood and without a way to properly identify the pet, the only choice she has is to call H.C. Animal Control or take your pet to the SPCA. Owners may incur fines and unfortunately unclaimed pets will be euthanized after 3-5 days.
STORM DRAINS
Dumping into storm drains is not just wrong, it’s illegal! If you see someone dumping a suspicious liquid into a storm drain, please call 713-920-2831. You may remain anonymous.
