Winter Stormwater Tip
When it's Winter and you're winterizing your vehicles, make sure to check for and fix fluid leaks. Even a small amount of oil that drips on the pavement can pollute thousands of gallons of water. Also make sure to properly dispose of antifreeze, and never dump it on the ground or down a storm drain.
Wintertime is also a time to fertilize your lawns. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions and only spread fertilizer where you need it. Sweep excess away from sidewalks and pavements.
