Help protect our waterways this fall by keeping leaves out of lakes, streams, and storm drains!

Letting leaves decompose naturally on your property returns valuable nutrients to the soil. But when leaves enter waterways, they release excess nutrients that fuel algae growth and harm aquatic life.

🍁 Don't forget about storm drains! Rainwater carries leaves and other debris from streets into storm drains, which often flow directly into nearby lakes, streams, and rivers without treatment.

Keep leaves out of the street and clear them away from storm drains. Small actions make a big difference in protecting our water quality!

Honoring Those Who Answer the Call

Today, October 28, is National First Responders Day, a time to recognize the dedication, service and sacrifice of the men and women who work tirelessly to keep our communities safe.

While special recognition days throughout the year honor firefighters, law enforcement officers and emergency medical personnel individually, National First Responders Day celebrates the collective efforts of all public safety professionals who answer the call when their communities need them most.

The City of Lake Elmo extends its sincere appreciation to our Lake Elmo firefighters, Washington County Sheriff's Office deputies, Lakeview EMS personnel and all first responders who serve our community. Whether responding to emergencies, protecting lives or providing assistance during difficult moments, their commitment makes a difference every day.

Please join us in thanking our first responders for their courage, compassion and dedication to keeping Lake Elmo safe.Lake Elmo Fire Department Washington County Sheriff's Office
