Do Your Doody!
Dog waste is often scattered across backyards, in neighborhood parks, and along public greenways that are in close proximity to small waterways. If you don’t clean up after your pet, rain can carry bacteria into storm drains and local streams that then empty into sources of drinking water. Parasites and bad microorganisms like roundworms and e coli can be transmitted to humans if it gets into the drinking supply.
As a dog owner, do your “duty” to scoop that poop and dispose of it in your trash. Better in the landfill than in the lakes and streams where we boat and fish, or the drinking water that comes into your home.
