🐾 Let's all do our part to keep our city clean and our water safe! Whether you're in the park, on a trail, or on your private property, please remember to clean up after your furry friends. Dog waste contains harmful bacteria that can end up in rivers and lakes making our water unsafe to drink or play in. It's a City Ordinance requirement to dispose of it properly in the trash.
Thank you for being a responsible pet owner and helping to protect our environment! 🌿💧
