Help Protect Our Water Quality
FACT: We all live downstream.
Our water quality is directly affected by our upstream neighbors, and our choices will impact the water quality for our downstream neighbors.
You don’t need a heavy rainstorm to send pollutants rushing toward streams, wetlands and lakes—your hose can supply enough water. Even if your house is not on the waterfront, storm water runoff is carried from your neighborhood to the nearest wetland, stream or body of water and then directly into the water you enjoy for swimming and fishing.
What you can do to help.
- Minimize impervious surfaces.
- Do not remove trees and other plants next to streams, lakes and wetlands.
- Plant Native plants to absorb heavy rain falls.
- Direct rain gutters onto lawns or garden.
- Construct rain gardens and use rain barrels.
- Scoop your pets poop: bacteria, parasites and animal wastes can affect the watershed.
