Group urges residents to keep leaves out of storm drains
Original: Group encourages people to keep leaves out of streets, storm drains
A local group is asking residents to keep fallen leaves out of streets and storm drains. Leaves washed into drains can clog drainage systems and release nutrients into waterways, harming water quality. The group says raking leaves onto lawns or into compost instead of curbsides helps prevent blockages and protects local rivers and lakes during the autumn leaf-fall season.
Why now: Autumn leaf fall is prompting reminders about preventing storm drain clogs and water pollution.
