Vehicle Fluids

Fluids leaking from vehicles can cause water pollution. When it rains, these fluids flow down the storm drains and are carried to our local creeks and lakes.

Here is how you can help: z Maintain vehicles to reduce leaks. z Clean up spills with absorbent material. z Avoid hosing down garage floors and driveways; instead sweep regularly. z Use a commercial car wash facility.
