Protecting the Source
Our mission is to protect drinking water by preventing pollution at the source. Let’s explore how the watershed functions:
- Water Supply: Our watersheds play a vital role in collecting and channeling rainwater to replenish streams, rivers and reservoirs that provide clean drinking water to our community.
- Water Filtration: A watershed's natural features, such as wetlands and forests, effectively filter out pollutants, ensuring that the water flowing through it remains clean and safe.
- Healthy Habitat: The vegetation in our watersheds helps stabilize soil, prevent erosion, and provides essential habitat for wildlife.
