Aventura is surrounded by waterways that intertwine throughout the various neighborhoods. Theses include Maule Lake and The Waterways Harbor which are directly visible from popular walking paths. Other waterways are more private and located behind condos. There have been several sightings of garbage in these waters. It’s really a shame, but there doesn’t seem to be anything that can be done to prevent this from happening. The garbage is not necessarily arriving on the shoreline or next to the walkways from people tossing garbage over the railings; it’s likely from someone littering far from Aventura. The trash travels with the current and makes its home here – even the garbage wants to live in Aventura. Of course if residents notice anyone throwing bottles and trash into the water, please tell them to stop or call the police – it should not be tolerated.

It’s not likely that this will have an effect on our drinking water. We found these links relating to water quality on the Official City website.
