Did you know picking up after your pets helps keep our groundwater supply clean?💡💧

If not picked up, dog waste can:
🔸 Pollute local waterways, including the Whitewater River Watershed.
🔸 Trigger algae growth that threatens marine animals.
🔸 Compromise drinking water quality.
🔸 Spread harmful diseases to humans and animals.

To help keep our water safe and clean, the City of Indian Wells, as part of the Riverside County Watershed Protection program, is providing free doggy waste bag dispensers to residents. Pick up your free dispenser today at Indian Wells City Hall with a valid 2026 Residence Benefit Card!
