Even�Clean�Tap�Water�Can�Pollute�Fish�Habitat
Unlike�water�that�goes�down�your�household�drain,�water�that�flows�into�storm�drains�is�not
treated�or�filtered,�and�all�storm�drains�eventually�lead�to�fish-bearing�creeks,�rivers�or�lakes.
Many�municipal�water�supply�disinfection�systems�include�the�use�of�hypochlorite,�which�is�very
toxic�to�aquatic�organisms.�Hypochlorite�is�also�the�active�ingredient�in�many�household�bleach
products.�It�is�therefore�important�to�never�introduce�wash�water�from�vehicles�or�driveways�into
storm�drains,�and�even�straight�tap�water�should�not�be�allowed�to�flow�into�storm�sewer�intakes.
Never�use�bleach�when�cleaning�concrete�or�asphalt
surfaces,�such�as�driveways,�and�direct�runoff�to�a�porous
surface,�such�as�gravel�or�grass.�Clean�paint�brushes�and
rollers�inside�your�home,�so�that�the�wash�water�will�go
to�the�sanitary,�rather�than�the�storm�sewer.
Visiting�a�commercial�car�wash�is�the�best
option�for�cleaning�your�vehicle,�as�wash
water�from�these�operations�is�directed�to
the�sanitary�sewer�and�receives�treatment.
If�you�must�wash�your�vehicle�at�home,
