The Problem
We have noticed that dog waste is often not cleaned up in our community. The dog waste that is left on the ground contains harmful bacteria that has many negative effects on our community. Dog waste is a major polluter of water, because of the bacteria traveling into lakes, rivers, streams, drains and inlets. These harmful bacteria hurt the animals living in that water, and make the water unsafe for drinking or recreation. This can also effect the aesthetic appeal of our parks and beaches.
