According to mayor Sullivan, a litter-catching device could be installed at the city's drainage basin on Morphy Avenue, if the $26K cost can be found in the city's budget.

The city's Environmental Committee is expected to hear a presentation soon about "Litter Getter" devices now being used by the city of Mobile and other places around the southeast, by 'Osprey Initiative' company president Don Bates.

Litter reduction is a component of the city's annual MS4 storm water permit certification process.

The Morphy basin, adjacent to Winn Dixie,  discharges into Cowpen Creek and eventually Fish River; other outfall sites around town may be considered later as well

I am for it. While we are at it i would like to hear of one, just one, citation for littering. As much litter as there is surely someone has seen something.

Keep building at this rate and without good regulations and this is Fairhope's future. Everytime you take away natural drainage you get this. Welcome to Fairhope, the City of drainage ponds. Trees, oh we used to have those.
