Several speakers Over time, stormwater inlets get clogged with sand, leaves, and grass clippings, natural things, but also cans, plastic bottles, and other trash. Our team clears all that debris so stormwater can drain properly. To better see what we're dealing with, our stormwater asset management team has a special camera on wheels. The camera goes where we can, checking stormwater pipes for anything that might block the water flow. The camera also helps us check the condition of the stormwater pipes to see if repairs are needed. And that's important because Pasco has more than 347 miles of stormwater pipes and more than 17,000 stormwater inlets. Once we analyze the video, the operation team shows up to blast water into the stormwater pipes and vacuum up any debris. Then we truck it all away. With clean stormwater pipes, cleaner water is now flowing into our ponds, rivers, and lakes, and some of that water eventually flows into the Gulf of Mexico. Clean stormwater inlets also prevent flooding, which means safer properties and less damage for everyone. So now you can see why dumping anything into a stormwater inlet or altering a stormwater structure is not only illegal but harmful. Don't dump grass clippings, fertilizer, chemicals, paint, basically anything that affects water quality in the environment. Pasco has a waste drop-off
Several speakers Jaimie Girardi: Okay, did could you ask the answer the question about your stormwater? Where are you putting stormwater in so?

Several speakers Unidentified A: would be Cat One wetlands. Well that that's why I suggest you change it to stormwater? That's what they're trying to go after, stormwater?
Several speakers And what I don't see in here is a stormwater expert coming to tell me about how this is going to cure our stormwater woes. Well we open up Facebook every day and see thousands and thousands of residents complaining about flooding.
Several speakers Glascoe County 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.
