If
you own property along a stream, call the City of Mill Creek and ask how you
can improve shading, thus reducing water temperature in our creeks.

Use
garden and lawn chemicals sparingly and with care or not at all. There
are alternatives available that do not harm fish.

Remove
litter (i.e., lawn clippings, trash) around the creek when you see it.
Look into composting at home or paying for yard waste pick-up.

Take
your car to be washed at a commercial car wash or wash your car using soap

from cars washed on the street or on your driveway drains into our creeks
and harms fish.
