The Office of Sustainability has issued a reminder to residents about the environmental dangers and legal issues associated with draining pool water into storm drains. This practice is not only illegal but also poses significant risks to aquatic life in local streams.
"Never dispose of pool water through storm drains," the office advised, emphasizing the importance of environmentally friendly disposal methods. The reminder encourages residents to protect waterways and wildlife by following proper procedures for pool water disposal.
This message is part of broader efforts by various city departments to promote public safety and environmental responsibility. The City of Columbia regularly disseminates such information through its monthly newsletter, City Source, which is available free at City Hall and mailed to all utility customers.
For further information or assistance, residents can contact the City Manager’s Office at 573.874.CITY (2489) or visit the city's official website.
