Picking up after your pets helps keep our waterways clean! Pet waste can wash into storm drains and carry bacteria into local bayous. Always scoop it up and dispose of it in the trash. Small actions make a difference!

Got rain today? Give your lawn a break!
Avoid overwatering and overfertilizing. Excess water can carry fertilizers and pollutants into storm drains and local waterways. Use fertilizer sparingly and choose natural products when possible.
Monday sounds a little different at the Flood Control District.
