March 2010

GROUNDWATER AWARENESS WEEK is March 7-13, 2010

Groundwater is the water we all drink, so we need to keep it clean!

Groundwater comes from rain and snow that soaks deep into the ground into aquifers below the surface. Undesirable substances that have been dumped onto the ground can also travel with the water into the aquifer.  The water we all use for drinking, cooking, bathing, and watering our lawns and gardens is pumped out of the ground and into our homes and businesses.

Here are 6 simple ways to help protect our groundwater:

1. Dispose of household chemicals properly, preferably at the Household Hazardous Waste Collection events in April, May, June or September. 
2. Never dump oil and fuels on the ground or down the drain.
3. Repair any fuel tank leaks.
4. Have septic tanks checked.
5. Close abandoned wells.
6. Don’t waste water

We drink groundwater…everyday. Be aware…and take care!
