Fix oil leaks - Washington Waters, ours to protect - public service announcement

Oil does not dissolve in water. It lasts a long time and sticks to everything from beach sand to bird feathers. Oil and other petroleum products are toxic to people, wildlife and plants. One pint of oil can make a slick larger than a football field. Oil that leaks from our cars onto roads and driveways is washed into storm drains, and then usually flows directly to a lake or stream.

Used motor oil is the largest single source of oil pollution in our lakes, streams and rivers.
