Doggie Duties


Leaving dog waste behind is not just unsightly and irresponsible, it’s a health hazard. Rain can wash fecal matter into storm water drains, and contaminate our drinking water and marine life with such bacteria as E. coli, Salmonella, and Tapeworm. Excrement left behind on the ground also can pass diseases, intestinal parasites, and infections on to dogs, adults, and children. And, you or your dog can step into the waste then track it into your home or car.

DPW reminds residents walking their dogs to Pick Up the Pieces!
