How Can I Help?
Milford residents can help by practicing healthy household habits. Homeowners and tenants can have an enormous impact on the quality of rivers and streams by:
- Keeping vehicles maintained, checking for leaks and recycling motor oil
- Using NH DOT Approved Soaps for washing your vehicle
- Using pesticides and fertilizers sparingly
- Properly disposing of pet waste
- Properly disposing of household wastes and recyclables
- Watching for unusual discharges from storm drainage swales and piping during dry weather conditions
The goal is to keep pollutants out of Stormwater drains.
You can make a difference by adopting these household habits to help protect lakes, steams, rivers, wetlands and wells. If you see a spill or observe something you suspect to be pollution in or around storm drains or streams, please contact us as soon as possible:
