Vineyard City has elected officials and staff who work hard each day to assure that the City is running and developing smoothly and that your needs as a resident are being met. However, local government can sometimes be a bit of a mystery to those who aren’t involved in it daily. So we’ve created GOV101 to demystify it a bit. Every month, you can come here to find out more about what your local government does everyday to make Vineyard great!

STORM WATER POLLUTIONStormwater runoff is rain that falls on streets, parking areas, sports fields, gravel lots, rooftops or other developed land and flows directly into nearby lakes, and rivers. The drizzling or pounding rain picks up and mixes with what’s on the ground:• Oil, grease, metals and coolants from vehicles;• Fertilizers, pesticides and other chemicals

from gardens and homes;• Bacteria from pet wastes;• Soil from construction sites and other bare

ground;• Soaps from car or equipment washing;

Ways for the citizens of Vineyard to help combat stormwater pollution:

1. Never put anything down a storm drain. Always recycle used oil, antifreeze and other fluids. Fix oil leaks in your vehicles.

2. Wash your car at a commercial car wash rather than in the street or in your driveway. If you wash your car at home, wash it on your lawn.

3. Cut down on fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. If you use these chemicals, follow directions and use them sparingly. Don’t fertilize before a rainstorm. Consider using organic fertilizers. Compost or mulch lawn clippings. Preserve existing trees or plant new ones - trees hold rainfall and help manage stormwater.

4. Replace part of your lawn with native, drought-resistant plants. Add compost to planting soil and dress it with mulch to

improve plant growth and reduce stormwater runoff.

5. Pick up after your pets and keep animals out of streams. Scoop your dog’s poop and properly dispose of it.

6. Reduce impervious surfaces at home and increase the vegetated land cover of your property. Impervious surfaces include your roof, driveway, patios and lawn. Reduce rooftop runoff by directing your downspouts to vegetated areas, and not to the storm drain on your street. For your driveway and patios, consider putting in permeable paving or patterns of cement and brick that allow water to filter through it.

7. Support your local storm or surface water program. Take advantage of opportunities to educate yourself and your family about your local watershed. Consider volunteering for stream restoration or other local volunteer projects.

Unused opioids—such as hydrocodone, morphine, and oxycodone—are dangerous to have in your home when they are no longer needed. Children or pets can accidentally take unused opioids or visitors might search for them in your drawers and medicine cabinets. Remove the risk of your unused opioids and help address the devastating opioid crisis affecting so many American families. Proper disposal of unused prescription opioids can save lives. Vineyard City has installed a NarcX opioid disposal unit in the city building for all residents to dispose of their unused opioids and other medications safely.
