In an effort to keep the bad stuff from dogs from polluting streams, City of Bellingham Public Works crews are installing five new dog waste collection stations this week along Railroad Trail.
Students in the Industrial Design department at Western Washington University designed the collection stations.
The project was funded by a grant from the Department of Ecology, intended to address high levels of fecal coli form bacteria found in Fever and Whatcom Creeks.
The grant also covers the cost of dog waste bags and routine maintenance.
Pet owners are required to properly dispose of pet waste in the city of Bellingham.
