Watershed Stewardship Tips

Some tips on things everybody can do to help reduce pollution and keep our waters healthy and clean.

• Avoid or minimize the use of pesticides whenever possible.
• Carefully use household hazardous materials such as drain cleaner, paints, varnish, and motor oil. Don't dispose of these substances down the drain. Save these types of waste for a household hazardous waste collection.
• When power boating or using a personal watercraft, obey no-wake zones and avoid shallow areas to avoid disturbing vegetation, wildlife, or bottom sediments.
• Please don't feed the waterfowl, they play a role in the spread of swimmer's itch.
• Feeding waterfowl also contributes extra nutrients to a lake or river.
• Divert rain gutters to unpaved areas on your property where water can soak into the ground before reaching the lake.
