Storm
water from our community is transferred directly from our inlets
and ditches to our lakes, streams, and rivers. Storm water
effectively accumulates and transfers pollutants. Most of these
pollutants are efficiently stopped by following preventive
measures and avoiding these sources of storm water pollution:
-
littering
-
leaking trash containers
-
pet-waste
-
lawn-chemicals
-
washing cars on pavement
-
changing motor-oil on impervious driveways
-
operating vehicles that leak fluids
-
improperly disposing leftover paint and household chemicals
Citizen cooperation is necessary to ensure that the City of
Columbus is doing its part to make our nation a beautiful and
safe place for future generations.
