☀️ As the snow melts, it reveals the litter left throughout the winter. Now is a great time to clean up the neighborhood and save our streams before the litter is washed into the nearest storm drain! 🌊👍

Some of the tastiest food, like🥓, have excess Fats, Oils, and Greases (FOGs) that can clogged pipes. Which is problematic! 😬

TIPS & TRICKS to avoid FOG issues:
🌟 Wipe grease from plates before washing.
🌟 Cool it, Can it, Trash it!

🌟Car Washing Tip: Wash your car on your lawn to allow for the soapy water to infiltrate into the soil to filter water before reaching our streams. 🚗🧽🧼Most water from car washing degrades water quality.

Thank you, City of Superior Street Sweeper! 👏���

Although sand and grit are not inherently harmful, too much of it in the storm sewers can clog them. Which can cause flooding in streets and basements!

✨Our Street Sweeper keeps stormwater flowing in the right direction. ✨

A Superior stream, Faxon Creek, was monitored through winter to measure chloride (a road salt component) in the stream. We found that there is definitely a spike 📈 in chloride during the winter. 🌻Great news: Yesterday, after rain events 🌧, the chloride reading decreased! 👍
