Don't make Kirk mad. Only rain goes down the drain. Pollutants such as animal waste, fertilizers, oil and grease, pesticides, trash and yard waste are carried directly to waterways with no treatment, polluting our waters.

Stormwater Friendly Friday!
With the hot weather remember to skip watering between 10am - 2pm, as watering can leave your lawn more vulnerable to heat stress. Stick with early morning or early evening if your plants can tolerate it so it can absorb.

Stormwater Tip Tuesday!
It's easy to over apply deicers, but applying more than you need won't melt your ice any faster.
Remember to follow label directions carefully and use products sparingly.

While the whole state is trying to dig out from this weekend's winter storm, remember to keep those storm drains clear so everything can melt efficiently. #SnowMelt #stormdrain

One of the simplest ways to be trash free: Don't litter! Remember to pick up litter and other trash from outside and put it in its place - trash or recycle bins! This will help keep trash from entering our waterways! #StormwaterSharp #TrashFreeNC

Meme Monday! For those thinking their pet’s waste should stay on the ground and act as fertilizer, think again. A dog’s protein-based diet creates a very acidic waste product, which can damage lawns. Please be responsible and Scoop The Poop! #StormwaterSharp #ScoopThePoop

Stormwater Fact Friday!
Everything that we put on the ground or into the storm drain can end up in our waterways. Having clean water is everyone's responsibility, and we all have the power to stop contributing to stormwater pollution.

Don't be like Dr. Evil. Remember to scoop the poop of any pet you may have while out taking a walk!

Stormwater Monday!
Make sure your nearest storm drains are clear, if you can do so safely. Do not pile snow on storm drains, as this can block water from draining to these devices, creating localized flooding in your neighborhood. #StormwaterSharp #Drainage #SnowMelt

Pet Waste is a major contributor to stormwater pollution as it contains harmful bacteria, parasites and is high in nitrogen and phosphorus that negatively affect our waters. Make a difference by being a responsible pet owner and Scoop The Poop!

Stormwater Fact Friday!
If you see Stormwater Pollution (discolored creeks, clogged storm drains, illegal dumping, etc.) contact your local municipality to report it! If it doesn't look right, you're right!
