Arcata asks pet owners to clean up dog waste to protect waterways during rainy season.
Arcata is urging pet owners to pick up dog waste during the rainy season to prevent untreated stormwater from carrying bacteria, viruses, and parasites like E. coli and Giardia into local creeks, Humboldt Bay, and the ocean.
Even a small amount of waste from 100 dogs over a weekend can cause beach closures and algae blooms.
The city provides free pet waste bag dispensers in parks and trails and advises disposing of waste in the trash, not compost, recycling, or toilets.
Residents can find dispenser locations and report pollution online or via a stormwater hotline.
