Polluted Stormwater Runoff is a Threat to Our Water Quality

When rain falls or snow melts, any chemicals, pet waste, or pollutants on streets and driveways can wash into storm drain systems, which empty into our streams and ponds.

Contaminants can also be transferred via groundwater or overland flows toward our well sites.  This contaminated stormwater runoff is a major source of water pollution in our area.

Help reduce stormwater pollution and keep our water clean by:

  • regularly maintaining your septic system
  • reducing chemical use around your lawn and in your house
  • always picking up after pets and throwing the waste into a trash can
