Dog owners can help solve the storm water pollution by taking easy steps...

• Clean up after your dog every single time.
• Take advantage of the complimentary waste bags offered in dispensers at local parks.
• Ensure you always have extra bags in your car so you are prepared when you travel with your dog.
• Carry extra bags when walking your dog and make them available to other pet owners who are without.
• Teach children how to properly clean up after a pet. Encourage them to throw the used bags in the nearest trash receptacle if they are away from home.
• Put a friendly message on the bulletin board at the local dog park to remind pet owners to clean up after their dogs.
• Tell friends and neighbors about the ill effects of animal waste on the environment. Encourage them to clean up after pets as well.

Storm drains on campus go directly to the Rouge River. So, if you see a spill/illicit discharge to a campus storm drain; immediately contact Public Safety at 313-593-5333.
 

Storms Drains are for Rain...

Dog owners who walk their dogs and do not clean up after their animal leave disease-causing animal waste lying on the ground.

Dog waste washes from the ground and streets into storm drains, and flows straight to the Rouge River, lakes or streams in your community.

Remember to always bring a bag and clean up after your dog.

...they're not pooper scoopers.
