§ 116990 Livestock Near Water Pollution

• •Don't keep animals like cows, pigs, or sheep in a pen or corral near a lake, river, or pond if it makes the water dirty.
• •This rule is to keep the water clean for people who use it.
• •If the water gets dirty because of the animals, it's against the law.

A farmer keeps cows in a pen right next to a river where people get their drinking water.

If the cows make the river water dirty, the farmer is breaking the law because people need clean water to drink.
