Helping to Keep our Drinking Water Clean

Here are a few Healthy Household Habits for Clean Water and ways to help keep our lakes, streams, rivers, wetlands and coastal waters clean.
Use a commercial car wash or wash your car in the grass rather than the driveway to minimize runoff of dirty soapy water.

Check your vehicles for leaks and spills and clean up anything that has already spilled onto the ground.

Use persticides and fertilizers sparingly

Drain your swimming pool only when a test kit does not detect chlorine levels.

Remember, nothing down the storm drains but rain.
