The Town of Lake Clarke Shores cares about the stormwater management system and the quality of water entering and leaving
our area. You can help us maintain quality standards by reporting illicit connections to the Town. Illicit connections are
discharges of any pollutants into the stormwater system, including pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, sewage, chemicals, and oil.
Stormwater runoff results when rain falls on surfaces that cannot absorb it, such as pavement or rooftops, or ground that is
already saturated from rain. This rain flows over land toward stormwater inlets, swales, ditches, canals, lakes, wetlands, or
coastal waters. Most of the unwanted pollutants that end up on our waterways come from human activities.
Tips for Maintaining the Quality of our Water
Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. When using these chemicals, use the recommended amounts and only when
necessary.
Use organic mulch or safest pest control methods whenever possible.
Don’t leave compost or mulch yard waste in the street or sweep it into storm drains or waterways.
Don’t over water your lawn. Consider using a soaker hose instead of a sprinkler.
Cover piles of dirt or mulch being used for landscaping projects.
Purchase biodegradable, nontoxic products.
Use, store, and dispose of products as directed on the container.
Sweep up and properly dispose of any construction debris.
Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on a lawn or other unpaved surface.
Check your vehicle regularly for leaks and/or spills. Clean up and properly dispose of materials used for spill cleanup.
Always pick up after your pet…even in your own yard!
Take the time to educate others on the negative impact of dumping into a stormwater system.
REPORT ILLEGAL DUMPING TO THE LAKE CLARKE SHORES POLICE DEPARTMENT BY CALLING THE
NON-EMERGENCY DISPATCH CENTER AT 964-1114.
