What it is, my brother

• In average suburban life style everyone has their own septic tank for waste water. In a more urban surrounding, the people use one big septic tank known as the waste water facility. The bacteria at the facilty clean the water and get rid of all the waste, then the water is clean enough to be dumped into the Puget sound!

What’s the Problem• Two main factors in waste

management.Pollutants going into the streams of Puget sound.During winter high storm water flows can cause flooding and property damage.

What’s Being done!• Low Impact Development (LID) Is a set

of stromwater management practices that hold great promise for improving the way we develop land and manage stromwater.

What you can do

• Wash your car at a commercial car wash.• Cut down on fertilizers. • Remove part or all of your lawn.• Pick up after your pets and make sure

your animals stay out of streams.
