Keep water clean
It starts at home, and it’s not just about the water coming out of the tap; it’s also about the water sent down the drain or into the ground. Here are some ways to help keep water clean.
Never flush expired or unwanted medicine down the toilet or drain
Fix any leaks from cars and collect oil by putting liner on driveway
Pick up after your pets to prevent waste entering drains, spreading bacteria
Conserve at home
It’s an easy concept to understand: Don’t waste water. But just because it’s simple doesn’t mean people do it. Using water more efficiently in daily life can go a long way.
Turn off faucets when not in use
Shorten the length of showers
Use low-flow toilets
Water plants by hand rather than hose
