Pet Waste

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pet waste can contain several human diseases and/or parasites and pollute our ponds, lakes, and streams.  When it rains, uncollected pet waste is eventually washed into nearby water and decays, using up oxygen, and releasing ammonia. Low oxygen levels and ammonia are responsible for fish kills.  Pet waste also contains nutrients that encourage weed and algae growth in the pond which will adversely affect the irrigation system. Perhaps most importantly, pet waste carries diseases such as Campylobacteriosis, Cryptosporidium, Toxocariasis, and Toxoplasmosis.

The Radcliffe Place HOA appreciates your help in keeping the neighborhood free of pet waste.  Please use the pet waste stations that have been provided on either side of the property.  Our goal is to preserve the integrity and value of the homes within your community.
