et waste is a health hazard and a water pollutant. Stormwater
runoff can wash bacteria from pet waste directly into storm drains
& drainage ditches, eventually ending up in our waterways un-
treated. YUCK!
Bacteria, parasites and viruses contained
in pet waste are a health risk to people
and other animals. In particular, fecal
coliform, present in the feces of warm
blooded animals, is a common pollutant
in area waterways. High levels of fecal
coliform bacteria indicate that other
harmful microorganisms may be in the
water and a potential health risk exists
for individuals exposed to this water.
Additionally, poor water quality caused
by pet waste can lead to shellfish bed
closings, algae blooms, fish kills and im-
paired water quality of recreation waters
