46:40County, waterways and wildlife depend on you to keep them healthy. Excess fertilizer, grass clippings, trash, oils, and pet waste wash into gutters and storm drains when it rains. Stormwater carries these pollutants directly into our lakes and rivers, creating an unhealthy environment for fish, waterfowl, and other aquatic animals. Storm drains are meant for clean rainwater. Most other discharges are illegal. If you suspect an illicit discharge, please contact Pasco County Department of Public Works at seven two seven eight three four three six one one.

1:02:27We want to welcome you to the Human Services Collaboration Station.

1:02:36The Collaboration Station is basically an idea of bringing community partners together with the human services team through the Pasco County Board of County Commissioners so we can serve the citizens in one hub or one facet to really create the connectivity between our partners and our not-for-profits in the community as well as our case managers and the work that they do. Our community partners play a massive role in serving our community. They can do Certain services that you know we don't have funding for or that they have specific funding for.

1:03:05Human Services I feel is the heartbeat of the public services branch. They provide case management and connect resources to our citizens in need. So having this collaboration station and bringing in community partners is going to make it so much easier for them to connect those services right here on the spot.

1:03:22So I think that collaboration station. Really fills a good void, right? We're able to bring everyone together to provide the needs for all.
