Help keep Shoreview’s ponds, lakes, and streams clean this fall! By sweeping up leaves, salt, and other debris from your local storm drains, you stop that material from getting into the city’s water bodies. Visit adopt-a-drain.org for more information and to adopt a storm drain today.
Did You Know? What Not to Flush. Did you know – flushable wipes aren’t really flushable? Wipes and similar products don’t break down the way toilet paper does and can clog pipes, put stress on community watershed collection and treatment equipment and cost cities thousands on equipment repair and replacement. They can even damage wastewater treatment plant pumps. You can help prevent expensive blockages at your home, and further down the line, by never placing the following items into the toilet, even if they have a “flushable” label.
