ERCA Tips
Never pour chemical or other materials down your storm drain. Instead, bring them to the hazardous waste depot. Remember: drains to lakes!

Change One Thing!

You can make a difference to the environmental health of your community! Consider doing at least one of the following suggestions:

  • Disconnect your eavestrough downspouts and install a rainbarrel to collect water for plants and reduce stormwater runoff.
  • Hang clothes out to dry to cut down on dryer usage.
  • If you have a septic system, have it serviced regularly and don't use products that can kill the beneficial bacteria that break down waste in your septic tank.
