Simple steps for protecting our water system include adjusting your irrigation system to water outside peak periods and to start off the hour. #ImpressBrandedContent #SponsoredContent https://www.facebook.com/CapitalRegionalDistrict/

It's raining, its pouring— and the autumn leaves continue to fall! In your garden, leave the leaves, but what if they're in your storm drain? Fallen leaves can clog up local storm drains. When clearing out and moving around piles of leaves, we recommend putting them in paper bags, bins, or letting them mulch in your lawn and garden beds. Clearing leaves from street gutters and storm drains keeps stormwater from becoming stagnant in your neighborhood. Here are some locations that collect leaves for Oregon and Washington residents: For Washington County residents, visit Clean Water Services for tips and suggested leaf drop-off locations until December 7th: https://cleanwaterservices.org/community-home/resources/dispose/leaf/ . For Clark County residents, visit Clark County Green Neighbors's page for drop-off locations: https://clarkgreenneighbors.org/leaf-disposal . For Multnomah County residents, visit City of Portland's Leaf Day Map to see if your home receives leaf removal services: https://www.portland.gov/transportation/maintenance/leaf-day .
