The clean water team at Santee City Hall has received
complaints about pet owners who have been neglecting to pick up after their
dogs.
Problem areas include Mesa Road, Via Christina, Riverwalk
Drive, Park Center Drive, and along Cuyamaca Street from Mast Boulevard to
Chaparral Drive.
Pet waste is not only unsightly, it contains fecal bacteria
that during rain storms is carried into creeks and other drainages that flow to the San Diego River. Fecal bacteria can harm wildlife and is the leading
cause of beach contamination.
The city has 27 pet waste bag dispenser stations located at
city parks, right-of-ways and landscape maintenance districts. Please use them
to protect our waterways from pollution. Thanks!
