Environmentally
Speaking . . . Pet Waste
 Pet waste can be a major source of bacteria and excess nutrients
in local waters. When walking your pet, remember to pick up the
waste and dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste is the best
disposal method. Leaving pet waste on the ground increases public
health risks by allowing harmful bacteria and nutrients to wash into
the storm drain and eventually into local water bodies.
The municipalities in Cass and Berrien Counties are working together
to ensure cleaner and safer water in the Lower St. Joseph River
Watershed. We will need your help, to learn more about these efforts
