MOUNT PLEASANT BOROUGH
SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
ON STORMWATER

Mount Pleasant Borough would like to remind all people who live and work within the Borough that our storm sewer inlets, curbs and gutters, drainage ditches and storm pipes discharge directly and untreated into Sherrick Run, Shupe Run and other natural waterways within the Borough. In order to help keep our streams, lakes and rivers clean and healthy, we remind residents and businesses to please:

- Do NOT discard leaves, grass clippings, used oil, paints, solvents, pet wastes or other wastes into the storm drains, onto the street or into streams or other waterways.

- Clean up after your pet. Don't let pet wastes get washed into the street or down the storm drain.

- Wash your vehicle at a commercial car wash or if washing it at home, wash your vehicle in a grassy or gravel area. Or divert your washwater into the grass or gravel area.

- Properly dispose of used motor oil, oil-based paints, solvents, household cleaners and other hazardous household chemicals.

(SPRING & SUMMER) - Maintain the grass height in your yard at 3 inches or more. Longer grass is healthier and requires less fertilizer. - If using fertilizers or pesticides, always follow the directions and never apply immediately before a rain storm.

(FALL) - If draining your pool, allow your pool to dechlorinate first by keeping it uncovered and waiting ten (10) days after its last chlorination to allow the chlorine to dissipate in the air. - Do NOT discard leaves onto the street, into the storm drains, streams or other waterways.

(WINTER) - De-Icing Salts can seriously degrade river quality for fish and other wildlife. Shovel snow off sidewalks and driveways as much as possible and pile shoveled snow onto the grass areas away from storm inlets. Use salt as sparingly as possible to de-ice surfaces. Shovel or sweep up excess salt after surfaces have dried for future use.

This program covers lead-based paint abatement and possibly other hazards that are related to lead poisoning in the home e.g. lead in windows, siding, and railings, and/or other contributing factors that could lead to lead poisoning.
