PET POOP PROBLEM IN SLC


Salt Lake Tribune -- Steve and Paula Pinkham take care to pick up after their Golden Retriever, Chester. And Sunday morning, Paula carried a plastic bag filled with more than Chester's share of droppings at the end of their walk in Parley's Nature Park.

It's not just a matter of keeping the gully playground clean from the waste of Chester and other dogs, she says. "It gets into the watershed."

Like any water issue, pet-poop pollution is touchy in the Salt Lake Valley.

All but three canyons -- Emigration, Millcreek and City Creek -- tightly restrict dogs, largely to limit their waste. In Millcreek, dogs are allowed off-leash on odd-numbered days, and in City Creek Canyon dogs are permitted off-leash until they reach treatment plant.

Read on here if you have absolutely nothing else to do at all.
