Why do the #zeropoo?
Pollution from poop threatens human health and the environment
Clean water is important to many people in South King County who enjoy Poverty Bay for swimming, diving, boating, beach-walking, and fishing. Yet, water quality in Poverty Bay has worsened over time from various fecal (poop) pollution sources. If poop is in the water, germs, viruses, bacteria, and parasites are present in water, which can be threats to the health of residents, visitors, and animals in the sea.
The Poverty Bay Pollution Identification and Correction (PIC) Program focuses on protecting our community by taking care of poop from humans and animals. The Poverty Bay Zeropoo Challenge is a Public Health Seattle & King County and Poogooder campaign to engage and activate residents to help reduce wayward dog poo for a happier, healthier community and planet.
We need your help, and we can help you! Do you live in the Poverty Bay District? Special resources are available to residents, from a King County Septic System Maintenance and Side Sewer Repair Rebates to a local Poop Ambassador Program (volunteer opportunities and free supplies).
