Top 10 Things You Can Do To Protect Our Watersheds
- Keep litter, pet waste, leaves, and debris out of street gutters and stormdrains. These outlets drain to lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands.
- Always conserve water wisely; capture and reuse rainfall whenever possible.
- Dispose of used oil, antifreeze, paints, and other household chemicals properly, not in storm sewers. You can take used oil and antifreeze to your local auto supply store. Recycle and dispose of
 Household Chemicals properly. Inspect and maintain septic systems and sewers. Have your septic system inspected and pumped at least every 3-5 years.
- Reduce or don't use fertilizers. Use pesticides and fertilizers sparingly and according to directions. Try natural alternatives instead of traditional pesticides and fertilizers.
- Use native vegetation and eliminate turf grass.
- Purchase household detergents and cleaners that are low in phosphorus to reduce the amount of pollutants discharged into our lakes, streams, and coastal waters.
- Wash your car on the lawn or direct the wash water to the lawn.
- Clean spilled break fluid, oil, grease, and antifreeze. Use kitty litter as an absorbent for oil and dispose properly. Rags can be used for break fluid, antifreeze or grease. Do not hose them into the street.
- Tell a friend or neighbor about how to prevent water pollution and get involved in your community.
