Many citizens own pets because they add joy to our lives, and we like to take our pets along when we do things like go for walks, go to the park and other fun activities. However, when we participate in these activities, there is one thing that we need to remember: "Scoop the Poop!" Some people think that pet waste is similar to manure, which can be used as a fertilizer, but it is not. Due to the types of food that pets eat and bacteria that can be found in their stomachs, pet waste can contain harmful bacteria that can enter our storm drains and harm our water supply. These bacteria can cause diseases in humans and other animals, while also causing algal blooms in rivers and streams by adding excess nutrients to the water. When pet waste is left on the ground or sidewalk, it can be washed away the next time that it rains. Since stormwater is not treated, this pet waste enters our local rivers and streams, causing pollution. There are ways to prevent pet waste from entering our waterways. Whenever you are out walking your pet, take a bag with you to pick up your pet's waste and throw it in the trash can. Not only does this help to protect our environment, but it helps to keep our community looking beautiful. Also, when you "Scoop the Poop," you are adhering to City and County pet ordinances. If you have questions or would like more information on how to reduce stormwater pollution, please visit our website at www.cityoffayetteville.org/stormwater or call our Stormwater Hotline at (910) 433-1613 and we will be glad to assist you.
