Arcata要求宠物所有者清理狗粪, 在雨季保护水路。 Arcata asks pet owners to clean up dog waste to protect waterways during rainy season.

Arcata敦促宠物所有者在雨季收集狗粪, 防止未经处理的暴雨水将细菌、病毒和寄生虫如E. Coli和Giardia带入当地小溪、洪堡德湾及海洋。 Arcata is urging pet owners to pick up dog waste during the rainy season to prevent untreated stormwater from carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites like E. coli and Giardia into local creeks, Humboldt Bay, and the ocean. 即使是100只狗在周末产生的少量废物也会导致海滩封闭和藻类开花。 Even a small amount of waste from 100 dogs over a weekend can cause beach closures and algae blooms. 该市在公园和小径免费提供宠物垃圾袋,建议处置垃圾,而不是堆肥、回收利用或厕所。 The city provides free pet waste bag dispensers in parks and trails and advises disposing of waste in the trash, not compost, recycling, or toilets. 居民可以在网上或通过暴雨水热线找到施放器地点并报告污染情况。 Residents can find dispenser locations and report pollution online or via a stormwater hotline.
