Pet Waste Can Be Harmful
Storm water can carry waste and other pollutants directly into
waterways. Animal waste may contain harmful organisms and
parasites such as roundworms and hookworms or Giardia, as well as
bacteria such as Salmonella and E. coli that can be transmitted to
humans and animals. When animal waste washes into a stream,
lake, or wetland, it breaks down using up oxygen and releasing
other chemicals.

Safety When Do I Call 911?
By dialing 911, you can reach the police department, fire
department, or an ambulance. When you call 911,
a dispatcher connects you with the services you need. Dialing
911 is not only for emergencies such as medical, burglaries or
fires, but also when you need any non-emergency police, fire or medical services. When
the dispatcher answers they will ask you if it is an emergency and determine from there
what services you need. If you’re not sure if you should call 911, it’s better to be safe than
sorry. The dispatcher can help you determine if you need emergency assistance.
Examples of when to call 911 would be a medical need such as a possible heart attack or
stroke, trouble breathing; house or grass fire; domestic violence; burglary or theft; car
accidents; suspicious activities; anything else that may seem like an emergency or for
police services.

Wetland Signs Identify Environmental Updates
Protected Areas Many Routes to Clean Water
In some places the clean water route is rather short and fast. In newer neighborhoods,
runoff flows over paved streets and driveways to storm water drains and storm sewers
to ponds, wetlands, or streams. The new Ravinia development in southeast Corcoran is
a good example. The Ravinia neighborhood has curbs, gutters, and catch basins
connecting to storm sewer pipes that carry runoff to several storm water wetlands.
In other places, the route is perhaps less obvious. In non-suburban areas of the city,
there are no storm sewer systems like the kind found in the Ravinia neighborhood.
Instead of catch basins and pipes, there are ditches and ditched sections of streams
that accept overland runoff and carry it to Elm Creek, Rush Creek, Jubert Lake, or one
of Corcoran’s many wetlands. Most of the city has this type of drainage system.
No matter which path is taken, it’s important to keep runoff and meltwater as clean as
we can, for a variety of reasons. For one thing, preventing spills, wastes, sediment, and
other contaminants from entering our storm drainage system saves money. Polluted
