Pet waste, pet care products and other pollutants left on the streets and grasslands can be washed into the storm drains that flow to waterways. Dog owners citywide can help prevent contamination of beaches and parklands from dog waste by picking up after their dog.

Downspout Disconnection
Program Purpose
The purpose of Boston Water and Sewer Commission's Downspout Disconnection Program is to identify and disconnect those downspouts (also known as roof leaders) that discharge into the sanitary sewer system. The sanitary sewer system is designed to carry domestic and industrial waste from toilets, showers, dishwashers, etc., not storm water. This program is only available in selected neighborhoods of Boston where downspouts have been confirmed as discharging to the sanitary sewer system.
