Grass clippings and other debris in the street can find its way into the storm sewer system and cause costly clogging and backup of the storm sewer system, affecting homeowners.
Cedar Falls is enforcing federal mandates to clean up our nation’s waterways, with an emphasis on monitoring and cleaning up storm water discharges. Anything that washes off your yard or street is capable of finding its way to the city’s storm sewer system, without treatment, and into the water we use for fishing, swimming and recreation.
