News Flash-Fall Leaves

A Texas Fall Tale: Where the Leaves Go…

It’s that time of year in Texas when the temps finally drop, the air smells like mesquite, and the leaves start piling up in every yard and gutter.

But did you know that crunchy fall leaves can pollute    our water?

When leaves, grass clippings, and trash pile up near storm drains, the rain washes them straight into our creeks and rivers unfiltered. That natural looking “leaf soup” becomes a problem fast: too many decaying leaves release nutrients that choke aquatic life and cause harmful algae blooms.

What you can do:

o Rake leaves away from storm drains

o Compost or bag them properly

o Never dump anything into the gutter, it leads straight to local waterways

In Texas, stormwater runoff is one of the biggest sources of water pollution but it’s also one of the easiest to prevent.

Let’s keep our fall leaves beautiful and our waters clean
