Protect water quality in the community

Communities work to develop and implement sustainable water management programs to meet the present and future water needs of residents and businesses. By promoting and educating residents and businesses about water pollution, you can help protect water resources for future generations.

Learn more about the issue. Stormwater pollution can affect everyone.

Volunteer. Participate in clean-up activities in your neighborhood, form a stream team, build a rain garden or become a water quality monitor. Advocate. Write or call your elected representatives to inform them about your concerns and encourage legislation to protect water resources. Get involved in local planning and zoning decisions and encourage your local officials to balance water quality protection with development and community needs.

Promote environmental education. Help educate people in your community about ways in which they can help protect water quality.
