National Water Quality Month focuses on where water comes from and the protection of its quality. Sweet water, the water you can drink, is either surface water or groundwater. Protecting its quality includes keeping it free from pollution.
The event champion offers the following tips for protecting our water.
_____________
1) Sweep your driveway rather than hosing it off.
2) Use a commercial car wash rather than cleaning your car at home.
3) Pick up after your dog.
4) Dispose of used motor oil properly. One quart of motor oil can contaminate more than 250,000 gallons of water.
5) Pesticides and fertilizers travel through runoff into the soil and contaminate groundwater.
6) Pick up litter on the streets to prevent it from entering storm drains and waterways.
7) Use phosphate-free cleaners.
8) Properly dispose of prescription medications. Anything flushed can enter the water system.
