SEDIMENT

Excess nutrients can contribute to algae blooms, causing  eutrophication and cyanobacteria.

Automotive fluids and chemicals are toxic to organisms.

Soaps and detergent are toxic to organisms.

AUTOMOTIVE FLUIDS

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT

Pet waste introduces bacteria, pathogens and excess nutrients.

SOAPS / DETERGENT

PET WASTE

• Unlike household wastewater, storm water is not treated or filtered at a wastewater treatment plant.​​

​

• Various pollutants can be carried by storm water runoff which eventually drains into our watersheds. 

​​

• These pollutants can contribute to water quality impairments which can make surface waters unfit for human consumption and public recreation.​

​Preserve the Quality of the Lake Travis Watershed

TRASH

Excess sediment can lead to turbidity which prevents sunlight from reaching deeper parts of our surface waters.

NUTRIENTS

We all know why trash / litter is bad.
