Pet Waste Pollutes Our Waters!

Clean and plentiful water is important to our families, our environment, our economy and our quality of life. Pet waste, which contains high concentrations of bacteria and disease causing microorganisms, is washed by rain and melting snow into storm drains that carry it to our lakes and streams, ultimately back into our drinking water. In an effort to keep New Jersey’s waters clean, each municipality adopted a strict pet waste ordinance. All pet owners are required to pick up after their pets. Please do your part to help keep Medford Lakes a beautiful and healthy place to live, work & play!
