How you

can help!

 

Together, individual
actions can
and do make a difference
to water quality
and the environment as a 
whole.
You can start by taking
the following actions:

Don't dump!
Dispose of oils, antifreeze, paint and other automotive and household chemicals properly.

Don't over fertilize!
Apply lawn and garden chemicals sparingly and according to directions!

Pump that tank!
Regular septic maintenance protects against failures and overflows.

Scoop the poop!
Unchecked, pet waste increase bacteria levels in waterways.

Want to learn more?
The local library has a wealth of material on this subject.  Also, if searching the World Wide Web, the EPA's water protection is and excellent resource.
