One barrel, used properly, can prevent 50,000 gallons of polluted storm water from entering our lagoon. Do your part and help save our lagoon by installing a rain barrel into the gutter system at your house.
Help keep our waterways clean and prevent pollution by following these simple Blue Lifestyles:
- Conserve water. Consider installing a rain barrel and directing downspouts away from pavement and into landscaping
- Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly. If you must fertilize, use phosphate free products with 50% slow release nitrogen. Do not apply from June 1 and September 30 or when rain is likely
- Blow grass clippings back onto your lawn; never into the street
- Compost or recycle yard waste.
- Sweep up debris rather than hosing it down.
- Use a commercial car wash or wash your car on the lawn to minimize the amount of dirty, soapy water flowing into ditches and storm drains.
- Repair auto leaks promptly.
- Dispose of paints, household hazardous wastes and batteries only at designated places. Contact Brevard County Solid Waste for more information at .
- Always pick up your pet’s waste.
In February 2018, please visit www.brevstorm.org to complete a brief outreach effectiveness survey.
