HOUND MOUNDS POOP 911 IN THE NEWS
Pet Waste Causes Health Concern
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Pet waste is a health hazard that washes into local rivers and lakes, but the problem is easy to fix.According to the North Texas Council of Governments, area dogs leave behind 450 tons of waste every day.And many pet owners don't clean it up.
Dog droppings are more than a nasty nuisance -- they are a health hazard. Rainwater washes pet waste into storm drains."Pet waste contains bacteria, viruses and parasites. And these pathogens can cause diseases," said Sophia Harvey of Dallas Public Works.
The untreated waste then washes into rivers and lakes.
The Texas Commission On Environmental quality studied the problem at Town Lake in Austin and found that dogs left A half-million pounds of waste in the watershed annually.
Harvey said the majority of potentially harmful fecal coli-form bacteria in local waterways is from pet waste.
Unlike so many environmental issues, fixing the peT waste problem is easy.Pet owners should collect waste in plastic bags. For those who are too busy or squeamish, some businesses are dedicated to picking up waste."We dispose of it in plastic bags," said Geoffrey Bodle of Hound Mounds said. "We go out to the landfill in Lewisville."
Even though pet waste washes into reservoirs, there is no problem with drinking water. It is treated and completely safe.
