Background and Discussion:

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) is donating pet waste stations to reduce pollution in watersheds like Spring Creek and Cypress Creek as part of its West Lake Houston Implementation efforts. These stations help prevent pet waste from contaminating local waterways and support community environmental goals.

 

Expected Impact:

The use of these donated pet waste stations will reduce bacterial water pollution from pet waste in the Cypress and Spring Creek watersheds.

 

Alternative Options:

Not approving this donation may impact continued pollution of the watersheds and require county funding to install pet waste stations in these areas.
