🌹Join Lake County's Fight Against Storm Water Pollution: Tips and How-tos

As spring approaches, the seasonal rains play a crucial role in cleansing the landscape, washing away the remnants of winter and daily pollutants. However, this process also channels these substances into our waterways, ultimately affecting Lake Erie's health. To mitigate storm water pollution, residents are encouraged to adopt responsible practices. These include proper disposal of hazardous materials, participation in special collection events, and prudent use of lawn chemicals. Additionally, adopting rain barrels or rain gardens can significantly reduce runoff, while diligent pet waste management and vigilant reporting of unusual storm sewer discharges are vital. Such collective efforts are essential for preserving the quality of our creeks, streams, and Lake Erie.
