Clean Water and Pet Waste
 Some important tips for keeping our
water clean...Remember, you’re not just walking the dog!
Did you know that pet waste contains bacteria that make our
lakes and rivers unsafe for swimming and other recreational
activities?
Did you also know? There are over 53 million dogs in the
United States, which produce 6.3 billion pounds of waste and
bacteria per year! Residential lawns and streets are among the
highest contributors of bacteria in storm water, which drains
directly to our lakes and rivers.
Southeast Michigan loves dogs, too! Nearly one-third of the
region's households have at least one dog. In 2005, Bloomfield
Township issued 1738 dog licenses and so far in 2006, Township
residents have applied for 1064 dog licenses.
Most of us pick up after our pets to be good neighbors and
keep our yards clean. But there’s another important reason to
clean up after our pets. Leaving pet waste on the sidewalk or
in the yard means that harmful bacteria can get washed into
storm drains and roadside ditches and then flow directly into
our lakes and rivers untreated.
What can you do? Simple! No matter where you are, clean up
after your pet and dispose of your pet’s waste promptly by
throwing it in the trash or toilet.

to Protect" site.
