INFORMATION FROM THE KB STORMWATER & ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE

When walking your pet, remember to PICK UP the waste and dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste is the best disposal method. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into the storm drain and eventually into our river or ocean.
