Only Rain in the Drain
Did you know storm drains are NOT part of the sewage system that treats water from toilets, sinks and bathtubs? Don't dump any waste, polluted water, oil, hazardous liquids or other nasty items into a storm drain. These drains lead to streams that flow through delicate ecosystems and natural wetlands before ending up in beautiful Dog River.
Trap the Trash
Litter and debris from the land surrounding the Dog River is a major source of pollution.
Sign Up to Clean Up! We will need volunteers to clean out the Bandalong Litter Trap.
