The Minnesota pollution control agency is working to develop ways to find and solve all pollution in the river. They hope to have solutions in a few years.

WHAT CAN THE COMMUNITY DO TO HELP

  • Put in filters
  • Dispose of water in different place
Filters will help clean the water before it gets into the river making the rivers cleaner

If we don't put our water directly into the river it won't transport bacteria directly to the river

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP

  • Don't liter
  • Pick up trash
  • Don't rake leaves into the street
Any bacteria from trash gets into the river and causes more problems

If you don't rake your leaves for a while they will start to get bacteria like mold on them then raking them to the street gets the mold down storm drains and to the river
