Yard waste, such as grass clippings and leaves, do not belong in a storm drain. Not only do they clog the storm system and cause unnecessary flooding, but organic debris also pollutes our waterways and can cause eutrophication – a reduction in oxygen levels in our rivers and lakes which harms and kills aquatic wildlife. #cleanthedrains #recycleyardwaste #SWPPP #washmo #waterwisewednesday

While the Parks Department does not operate and run the little league programs, we do maintain the fields they play on. These programs are essential for youth and adolescence development through sports and our department takes pride in keeping the fields in pristine condition. #WhereYouBelong #ParksandRecMonth24
