We can help improve stormwater management in a number of ways:
• Reduce fertilizer use on gardens and lawns.
• Don’t dispose of used oil or grease down stormwater drains and 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.
• Pick up dog or animal waste from your yard or when walking your dog.
• Don’t wash your car where the detergent water can run into the stormwater drains.
• Keep litter, pet wastes, leaves and debris out of the street gutters and storm drains.
• Control soil erosion on your property by planting ground cover and stabilizing erosion-prone areas.
* Always remember if you see Illegal Dumping or an Illicit Discharge contact the City of New Port Richey Code Enforcement office 727-841-4553.
